Far waits for program execution....

Post by saf2825 »

One thing that bothers me is when I'm pressing enter on a registered file type in Far, it will waits until the execution of that program be finished.
and I need to close that program for Far to become available.
I should close Far and run it again to workaround this problem; it's annoying.
Is there any way to run registered file types in far without waiting for the program execution to be finished.
Thanks.

It happens only when running from archives. Try to click CtrlAltX in console window to detach Far Manager.

X is a button on keyboard. Also you can try CtrlAltTab.

In fact, X is a key, not a button. Keys are pressed, not clicked.

Thank you HaRT your instruction worked.
Actually I'm using x64 version of Far 2.0 and it didn't respond to CtrlAltX or CtrlAltTab by default.
So I tried to create Registry Key and Value as you mentioned...

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\far2\System]
"ConsoleDetachKey"="CtrlX"

Because this key combination respond only when Far is running an external command, there is no need to be Complicated.
So I chose CtrlX
and it worked.
Thank you all.

If you ever start a console-based text editor from within FAR, do not come crying that its Cut key has stopped working.
