Change the panel with the click on tab bar

#1 Post by Dreamer » 29.12.2013, 23:30

If the single click to open files/folders is activated, it's not easy to change the panel with mouse, there is no free space, but there is always a little space on the tab bar, but currently it's impossible to change the panel from left to right (and vice versa) this way. I'd like to change the panel clicking there.

Perhaps also click the status bar area to change the panel would be nice and useful.

"Eat the first click" option would be nice, meaning first click anywhere in the inactive panel just makes it active, without losing the selection focus or executing the clicked file if "open with one click" option is active.

Note: Topic has been merged with another similar topic / request. -Dreamer

Double click on the area where the red arrow directs means: make new tab.

Why not "make tab active" when clicking (one click) on this area???

It's a bit exhausting to make the tab active always when e.g. copying from the left side to the right side or vice versa (and the source panel must then be selected all the time). Would be easier to make the source panel active with one click on the the area that is used for making a new tab when double clicking.

good idea!
If file area is full with files, there are only few places to activate the inactive panel without loosing a file selection.
One place is the selected inactive tab, the other the scrollbar.
The empty place on the tabbar would be another good possibility for this.
