The default Windows explorer.exe is unbearable after using SpaceFM on Linux for so long. I can’t deal with multiple windows even with all the shit that’s cooked into Windows 8.1 to supposedly help.

I need a tabbed explorer, and not some oddball replacement file manager.

Assigning multiple hotkeys to one function ∞

Using AutoHotkey:

See QTTabBar – hotkeys.ahk

#IfWinActive  ahk_exe  explorer.exe
^PgDn::^Tab
^PgUp::^+Tab
^+PgDn::^+PgDn
^+PgUp::^+PgUp
#IfWinActive

Somehow the functionality vanished. Multiple install, reinstall, uninstall-install attempts did nothing.

I had to do View > Options (dropdown) and enable it:

Installing QTTabBar

I also needed to re-import my saved settings. I’m glad I do my backups.

alt-o (oh) opens the options panel. Then General > Managing Settings [Import now…]

A decent configuration ∞

2015-06-16 – 1025 ∞

I had been using Clover, but that had issues with alt-tab and alt-escape keeping explorer “in the way”.

Its configuration is very thorough/complex. Think of it like VLC‘s “advanced” mode. It’s not too bad to set up, and it also has a feature to easily save/restore settings using a savefile so you don’t have to go looking for a config file yourself.

I really don’t want to make a Pale Moon / Firefox configuration document, so fiddle around with it for yourself.

To do / Missing features? ∞

2015-06-16, ver 1025, Windows 8.1 (updated recently)

Reboot after installation
Its keyboard defaults are INSANE
alt-o for options
General has Import now
I’d like to have the first tab start more to the right, so that the favourites/etc column does not have a tab above it.
I’d like to assign multiple hotkeys to the same action. For example, control-tab and control-pagedown to switch to the tab to the right.
- 2019-12-31 — I figured out how to do this with AutoHotkey. See Assigning multiple hotkeys to one function.
Install .NET 4.0 — dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe
- .. but it says it’s already installed on Windows 8.1

Alternatives ∞

Clover
