Hi,
does anyone knows a free text viewer with navigation pane?
The idea is to have a file navigation pane and as we move through the text files in a folder (using the cursor arrow keys) we could see the text file on another pane immediately displayed.
Many years ago I had a tiny utility like that I think it was X-Find from Xteq but stop working properly on windows 10.
I could do such an utility but I'm so lazy
The Xfind.exe works if I rightclick and start the problem solver.
Windows will then use win8 compat mode.
Trying to install it with the .ini does not seem to do anything.
Best
Thank you all.
The idea is to quickly navigate through games from a test match as the match goes on. I want a fast way of looking at the result of each game, which is at the top of each game file.
X-find almost works, because every time I select a file the focus switches from the file navigation pane to the file display pane.
So I have always to use the mouse to come back to select another file.
All I wanted is to use just the up and down arrow keys to quickly move through the games and have a glance at the top section of each game.
Again thanks I'm going to test each suggestion.

In vscode you can open the files first, then you can navigate thru the files by the keys Ctrl+Tab. Hold the Ctrl key and press Tab repeatedly or press the Up/Down arrow key to select the specific file.
Notepad++ is also a good text viewer/editor, but vscode can handle 1Gb file just fine.

Hello Alvaro! After reading this discussion I decided to polish a little tool that I have made. In case you wish to take a look, it's here: https://github.com/rchastain/textview
