Expanding the "invoking methods" for folder search and exploration functions

[brandySnake]

I've long been a fan of the convenient feature that allows you to get results equivalent to the "Search in Everything (New Tab)" command by dragging and dropping a folder onto the tab bar.
I also assign the E key to "Explore in Everything (New Tab)" and execute it on a selected folder within the search results.
While I find both useful, I prefer "Explore in..." because it doesn't pollute the search box.
However, the key operation (E key in the example above) doesn't work on the folder tree.

In relation to the existing features listed above, I have the following two ideas. I'd like to hear your thoughts on each. If possible, would you consider implementing them?

1) The ability to directly execute "Explore in Everything (New Tab)" by middle-clicking on a folder (search results or folder tree).
2-a) Dynamically switch "Search in..." to "Explore in..." by dragging and dropping folders to the tab bar using a modifier key (shift, ctrl, or alt).
2-b) Statically switch "Search in..." to "Explore in..." by dragging and dropping folders to the tab bar using an ini setting.

Thanks in advance.

1) The ability to directly execute "Explore in Everything (New Tab)" by middle-clicking on a folder (search results or folder tree).

I have put this on my TODO list.

2-a) Dynamically switch "Search in..." to "Explore in..." by dragging and dropping folders to the tab bar using a modifier key (shift, ctrl, or alt).

I will consider showing a context menu on right-click-drag-drop and allowing different actions with Shift/Ctrl/Alt.

2-b) Statically switch "Search in..." to "Explore in..." by dragging and dropping folders to the tab bar using an ini setting.

I will consider a option to set the default drop action.
Thank you for the suggestions.

thank you for your reply.


1)

I have put this on my TODO list.

Thank you for adding it to your to-do list!


2-a)

Right-click, drag, and drop to display a context menu...

This looks smarter than my original suggestion!


2-b)

I will consider a option to set the default drop action.

Thanks for your consideration!

Everything 1.5.0.1400a will now use the mbutton_action for the folders sidebar.

Thanks for the update.
In 1.5.0.1400a, setting "mbutton_action" to "Explore in everything" now works as I wanted (as suggested in 1). I was also able to open a new tab with `Ctrl + middle click`. This works in both the results list and the sidebar.

Thank you so much!
