Solved Open folder in new window by doing ctr+click

[Cellendhyll]

Hi everyone,

First of all, I hope I'm in the good area of the forum. None of them suited my problem so I decided to write about it here. Please, feel free to move my subject in the good section if you feel it would be better somewhere else.

Everything is in the title. I would like to be able to open a folder in new window by doing ctr+click.

Do you think it's possible?

Thank you all
Cell'

Hello Cell, and welcome to Seven Forums.

If you like, you could either press CTRL + N or right click and click on "Open in new Window" to open the selected folder in a new window.

This seems to work for me in AutoHotkey

I changed it to Control Right Click to avoid clash with Control Click selecting folders in Explorer.

SendMode Input
ClipSave := ""

#IfWinActive,ahk_class CabinetWClass
^RButton::
Gosub, DoOpen
Return
#IfWinActive,ahk_class ExploreWClass
^RButton::
Gosub, DoOpen
Return

DoOpen:
ClipSave := Clipboard
clipboard =  ; Start off empty to allow ClipWait to detect when the text has arrived.
Send ^c
ClipWait, 2  ; Wait for the clipboard to contain text.
Loop, parse, clipboard, `n, `r
{
    run, explorer %A_LoopField% 
}
Clipboard := ClipSave
Return

If it does not work it may need
"show full path in Title Bar" to be enabled in folder options

Edit: The way the hotkey works is you run it and just let it sit in the tray. When it detects the hotkey it takes the action. You can run it as script or use the ahk compiler to make it an exe.
(If you make an exe then Autohotkey does not have to be on the machine to run the program.)
