Shortcut to display content of parent folder or file folder

[adamiks]

I use everything a lot and very often i catch myself on trying to display content of found folder
or content of file parent folder

I know i can copy path and display it but it would be awesome to make it using keyboard shortcut

is it possible in Everything? if not please consider adding:]

it would be great if parent folder would be at the top so you could go up an up:]

What about context menus ?

For folders you could add your own context menu:
In regedit, make the following key:

Code: Select all

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Search Parent...\command

Set the default value in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Search Parent...\command to:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe -parentpath "%1"

Where C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe is the location of your Everything.exe

For files you could add your own context menu:
In regedit, make the following key:

Code: Select all

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Search Parent...\command

Set the default value in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Search Parent...\command to:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe -parentpath "%1"

Where C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe is the location of your Everything.exe

To bind a shortcut to Search Parent...:

• Exit Everything.
• Open your Everything.ini and change the following line:

  Code: Select all

  custom_verb01=

  to:

  Code: Select all

  custom_verb01=Search Parent...

• Save changes and restart Everything.

Set the keyboard shortcut:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Keyboard tab.
• Type in verb for show commands containing:
• Select File | Custom Verb 1
• Click Add...
• Press your new keyboard shortcut and click OK.
• Click OK.

nevermind. I wasn't using the beta

What keyboard tab? I don't have one in Options. I would like to add a keyboard shortcut to "Open Path" when highlighting over the list of results
