Go USEQUALKEYS

You can use the evaluator to override the default behaviour of the Go USEQUALKEYS command.

Normally this auto-generates buttons that read a folder normally, in a dual display (with the Ctrl key), in a new tab (with the Alt key), or in a new Lister (with the Shift key).

The evaluator clause can return a string to replace the default arguments of the Go command and implement its own behaviour.

This is configured from via the go_usequalkeys_eval Advanced Preferences option.

In this evaluation context, the following variables are available:

Variable	Type	Description
alt	bool	True if the Alt key is down.
ctrl	bool	True if the Ctrl key is down.
shift	bool	True if the Shift key is down.
cmdline	string	Provides the original command line for the function.

The return value should be a string consisting of valid arguments for the Go command.

E.g., if (shift) return "NEW";.
