Quickest Way to Duplicate Panels

Post by CoolCat83 »

Hello All,

Is there a keyboard shortcut to Duplicate Panel? Currently, I use command line to

cd, ... Ctrl + [ or Ctrl + ], to copy the path of Left or Right panel.

There must be a better way to do this. But I have not able to find it.

Also, is there a way to open the existing Folder under the cursor from One Panel, into another one?

Code: Select all

Panel 1       | Panel 2
-----------------------------------------------
Folder 1      |
Folder 2  --> |  Open Content of Folder 2 
File 1        |
File 2        |

  1. Plugin "Same Folder" (comes with Far)
  2. See viewtopic.php?t=12619 (use some online translator if needed)

Shmuel,
  1. Thank you for the Same Folder plugin, I can now duplicate the panels.
  2. How do I use Showing a folder under the cursor on the passive panel Lua file?
    I tried in Plugins folder and also to Addons / Macros, but none of these work.

There is an existing directory %FARPROFILE%\Macros\scripts (it is created automatically).
Put the file into that directory and restart Far.
