Post by grotesque007 »

in standard version of everything right click any row and press F (copy full path) or to quickly perform that action of copy full path.

in alpha this doesn't work as it used to

Don't think I knew that. But sure enough, it does.


1.5 does not do that.
But you can assign a hotkey to do the same. (I happen to use F6.)

Tools | Options | General -> Keyboard
Show command containing: full
select, File | Copy Full Path -> Add (whatever hotkey you'd like)

The default keyboard shortcut to copy the full path is: Ctrl + Shift + C

If you really want the F mnemonic:
  • Exit Everything (File -> Exit)
  • From the Start menu, search for:
    notepad
  • Right click Notepad and click Run as administrator.
  • In Notepad, from the File menu, click Open....
  • Select the Everything.ini in the same location as your Everything.exe
    (Everything-1.5a.ini for the alpha version)
  • Change the following line:
    localization_strings=

    to:
    localization_strings=164=Copy &Full Path

    (can be anything you like, prefix the desired letter with & to use it as a shortcut)
  • Save changes and exit Notepad.
  • Restart Everything.
The reason it was removed in 1.5 is because it conflicts with other menu items.
