[Feature Request] Suggest previous locations in address bar like for browser
I'd love a suggestion drop down while typing in the address bar of previous folder locations. So when I type "Notes" in the address bar it would suggest "C:\Users\Bla\Documents\Notes". Those suggestions should be sorted by "how often" or "how long" the user moved to a location or done some activity there, and automatically select the most common one. This would save having to keep tabs open since you can quickly open previous locations.
Basically the same as how modern browser address bars work. You'd just have to type "notes" and press return to go to a location.
Possibly this could also include "search engines" like "search for documents" or "search for music files". Or being able to execute a cmd / powershell command at the current location.
On a related note, when pressing Ctrl-T for new tab it should focus the address bar since then it's know the user is already using the keyboard and the new tab is at some type of root level.
PS: Thanks to all the contributors for making explorer++!
until something is implemented, use favorites/bookmarks in the meantime for frequently accessed directories.
An easier implementation might be to only use existing bookmarks for suggestions. I imagine that would be a more localized change in the source code
I believe you're looking at an autocomplete like feature for recently typed directories.
I do something like that here: https://github.com/BiatuAutMiahn/ctSpaces/blob/a387c6c0712d8668826a675e28fb15334feb18b6/ctSpaces.cpp#L372-L385
Edit: Also, in windows Ctrl+L is native for selecting address bar. I'd link that request back to hotkey customization.
Yes but not strictly autocomplete, if you type "notes" it prepends the path to your notes folder
