Path field
This field shows the current directories path.
The path field has its own popup menu, which is activated by pressing the
middle button (or the right button, if you own a 2-button mouse).
This menu provides functions concerning the current path:
- copy path
- copy the current pathname into the cut & paste buffer.
This is useful if you want to paste the full pathname into some other textview
or workspace.
- back
- change back to the previous directory.
- up
- change to the parent directory.
This has the same effect as double-clicking on the
".."
entry.
- change to home dir
- change to your home directory.
- change directory
- opens a box to enter the name of a directory to change to.
The box performs filename completion with the TAB key.
Notice, that all fileBrowsers keep a common history of already visited
directories; therefore, you do not have to enter recently used names again.
- history list
- The last menu entries allow a quick change back to recently visited
directories. To avoid ever growing menus, only the last few directories
are shown in the history list.
