Description

(no argument)

-

-

Displays a dynamically generated list of your recently visited folders - you can navigate to a folder simply by selecting it from this list. Acts as a dynamic button.

Some of the arguments of this command can modify the appearance and behaviour of the dynamic list.

Example: Recent

CLEAR

/S

(no value)

Clears the recent folders list.

Example: Recent CLEAR

KEYARGS

/K/M

<qualifier:arguments> ...

When displaying the recent list, this argument lets you assign different behaviour to the items in the list if a qualifier key is held down. This is a multiple value argument - for each qualifier key combination listed, you can define a separate set of arguments that will be used when the item in the list is selected.

For example, you could configure your Recent menu to open folders in a new tab by default, but in a new Lister if the Control key were held down.

The qualifier part of the value consists of one or more keywords that represent the qualifier keys - ctrl, shift and alt. These can be combined, for example ctrlshift means that both the Control and Shift keys must be held down. You can also use the keyword none to indicate arguments that are applied when no qualifiers are held.

Example: Recent KEYARGS "ctrl:NEW" "none:NEWTAB=findexisting"

NEW

/S

(no value)

Recent folders selected from the list generated by this command will open in a new Lister instead of the current one.

Look for the folder in an existing tab before opening a new one.

PATH

 

<path>

Filters the displayed recent list to only show folders matching or below the specified path. This is the default argument for the Recent command and so you do not need to specify the PATH keyword. Make sure you enclose the path in quotes if it contains spaces.

Example: Recent C:\

The recent list displayed by this command will display icons for the items within it. Note that the button that contains the Recent command must also have its Show image option turned on.

Activates pre-configured behaviour for the main qualifier keys - Control will open the recent folder in the dual-display, Shift in a new Lister and Alt in a new tab.

This is equivalent to KEYARGS ctrl:OPENINDUAL shift:NEW alt:NEWTAB.

Example: Recent USEQUALKEYS
