For example:
Code: Select all
cd C:\Directory\Subdirectory\My.file
Instead, I always have to do the following procedure (considering that the full path is on the clipboard):╔══════════════════════════════ Error ═══════════════════════════════╗ ║ C:\Directory\Subdirectory\My.file ║ ║ The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ { OK } ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
- cd Ctrl+V, deleting the file name from the end, enter --> this jumps to the folder
- Ctrl+O to hide the panels so cursor keys will affect the command prompt instead of navigating among files
- Ctrl+V again, Shift+Left-Left-Left... until the file name is selected at the end of the path
- Shift+Del to cut the file name to the clipboard
- Ctrl+X to remove the path from the command line
- Ctrl+O to show the panels again
- Alt+A key to show the file quick search, +1 backspace if there is a file name starting with the A letter
- Ctrl+V to paste the file name and jump to the file
Speaking of this, there is a related problem with UNC paths:
While cd \\server\folder works, cd \\server produces an error:
This is not as serious as the one above since typing "net:\\server" is a workaround for the problem. But as said, TC users would never find it out, so they are always complaining when they can only use Far Manager on my computer╔══════════════════ Error ═══════════════════╗ ║ \\server ║ ║ The system cannot find the path specified. ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ { OK } ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════╝
