579 Toggle between active tabs is useful

#1 Post by Scott_Y » 26.02.2012, 08:04

579 added a new option under the settings for Folder Tabs: "With click on the active tab - change to the last active." This works like a toggle, where simply clicking on a tab jumps back and forth between two active tabs in the same panel. I've just caught on to the value of this feature, hence I am writing a post about it.

I keep about 10 or 12 tabs open in each side of FC. Each tab is either a folder I frequently visit such as Downloads, or a current project. I also have defined some Favorite Folders and can access them with hotkeys. But I prefer to have them always visible on open tabs rather than switching what is in a tab.

I move between these open tabs many times a day. The easiest and fastest "no looking, no thinking" method is to TAB between the left and right panes. But that provides immediate, single-key access to only two tabs. Now with the above option enabled, I have an additional tab in each panel which is accessible just as quickly. Thanks, Marek :^)
