#105 Up one level in NEW WINDOW?

[Anonymous]

Hey guys, I have been using the AutoHotKey command of SendInput !{Up} that
I got here to go up one directory. This is great but the old Windows XP up
button allowed you to hold down the CTRL button when you clicked the up
button and it would open a new explorer window that was up one level. I
used this all the time.

Is there any way to do one of the following with an AutoHotKey command:

1) SIMPLE: Create a separate command that goes up one level and opens in a
new explorer window

2) HARDER: Create a conditional so that if the CTRL key is depressed, the
up command issued in a new window, otherwise the command is issued in the
current explorer windows.

Thanks for the help!

Well I figured out a way to #1. I've pasted the AHK code below that I am using. It
opens a new window, pauses for a brief second and then goes up a directory,
effectively doing the same thing that the "CTRL+Up Button" would do in XP. Nice! I'd
still be interested in knowing if my #2 from above is possible (using a conditional
with AHK).

Send, {CTRLDOWN}n
Sleep, 25
Send, {CTRLUP}{BACKSPACE}

I'll merge this into issue #74 since that's the one with the 'up' command.
