If you can't wait until the next release, then the behaviour can be fixed by applying this: --- e2_command_line.c 2005-12-13 11:36:23.000000000 +1100 +++ e2_command_line.c 2006-01-02 07:28:32.000000000 +1100 @@ -319,5 +319,10 @@ if (e2_option_bool_get ("dir-line-focus-after-activate")) - gtk_widget_grab_focus (pane_rt->focus_widget); + { + if (pane_rt == app.pane_other) + e2_pane_activate_other (); + else + gtk_widget_grab_focus (pane_rt->focus_widget); + } g_free (command); OR simply turn off the panes config option "focus the pane after completing a directory entry" Regards Tom -- Users can unsubscribe from the list by sending email to emelfm2-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the subject field or by logging into the web interface.
