How to create symbolic links in Total Commander

Leave a Comment / /

Symbolic links in Windows (starts from Vista) can be created using mklink command.

Let’s make a button in Total Commander to create a symbolic link from the selected file:

  1. In a convenient location, for example in Total Commander plug-ins directory c:\TotalCommander\Plugins\ create a batch file mklink.cmd with the following content:

This command creates a symbolic link to the file transferred from the first input parameter and places it in a location from the second input parameter.

  1. Create a button in Total Commander panel by dragging this file to this panel.
  2. Right click on this button and select “Edit …”
    1. In the “Settings” field specify:

Save changes.

%P – path to the file under the cursor in active panel

%N – the name of the file under the cursor in active panel

%T – path to the location, open in a second (non-active) panel

As a result by pressing created button a symbolic link to the file under the cursor in the active Total Commander tab will be created in a location of the inactive tab with the same file name.

Python – multiline comment in PyCharm

Leave a Comment / /

Python language has no internal multiline comment syntax (like \* … *\ in other languages). There are two ways to solve this:

  1. Use multiline string literal syntax: ′′′

Disadvantage of this way is that such comment remains constant string and processed in finished code.

  1. If the PyCharm IDE is used to write Python code – select multiple code rows to comment and press keyshot Ctrl + / to comment all of them.

To remove comments from multiple commented strings select them and press Ctrl + / again.
