Summary0002521: Feature: GoTo Tab-HotDirectory
DescriptionHello Alex and team, I have used Double Commander for four years now, and I appreciate all your work. While navigating with DC, it came to my mind this nifty feature that could be added to DC.

Feature: GoTo Tab-HotDirectory
Suggested command name: cm_GoToTabHotDirectory

Scenario:
While working with Double Commander eventually you may find yourself having many open tabs, and also having a dozen of Directory locations saved in your Directory Hotlist. Navigating through all your tabs and HotDirectories from hotlists may not be very easy when you have a high quantity.

Suggested Feature:
A “GoTo Tab-HotDirectory” feature to quickly Search and Go to any of your open Tabs or Directory Hotlist locations.


Description of The functionality

The “GoTo Tab-HotDirectory” will be a modal window very similar to the “Select your internal command” window (the one you bring up with Shift+F12)

To access it, you will only have to press Ctrl+D + Enter (as it will be the first item selected on you Directory Hotlist pop-up menu) (see image 01)

In this window a list of your open tabs and directory locations from your hotlist will be presented to you, and as your start typing it will filter the items on the list, same as you are able to do with the “Select your Internal command” window. (see image 02 & 03)
Steps To ReproduceN/A
Additional InformationKeyboard Navigation:
Enter = Go to selected tab from list | Open selected HotDirectory location (and exit window)
Ctrl+Enter = Open a new tab for selected item and go to it | Open selected HotDirectory location in a new tab. (and exit window)
Up |Down Arrows = To navigate through list items
Delete = Close selected tab | prompt a “Delete/Edit/Cancel” dialog if a HotDirectory location is selected.
Escape = Exit the "GoTo Tab-HotDirectory" window


Double Commander is already a great File Manager program and with this feature added it will be even more useful and unique, and it will add turbo speed to Double Commander's keyboard navigation.

Please let me know if I can help you with something; now I'm a newbie on coding but I could help you, perhaps with updating the DC manual describing this or other features, or doing some Spanish translation ; )
