Assign a hotkey to a "view" size in File Explorer

Question

I (almost) always like looking at my (projects) folders in the size Large Icons and sometimes List. I'm always switching between those two and hardly ever anything else.

However, every folder that I open requires me to go to View > {Size} and it gets annoying to have to keep on doing it on my many folders.

Is there a way I can assign a hotkey to a specific view size?

I could then simply assign {key 1} to Large Icons and {key 2} to List view.

Answer 1

Refer to the following shortkey.

• For Large Icons you can use Ctrl+Shift+2
• For List you can use Ctrl+Shift+5

This can be done in windows 10.

The same goes for the rest of the sizes:

Ctrl+Shift+

• Ctrl+Shift+1 - Extra Large Icons

• Ctrl+Shift+2 - Large Icons

• Ctrl+Shift+3 - Medium Icons

• Ctrl+Shift+4 - Small Icons

• Ctrl+Shift+5 - List

• Ctrl+Shift+6 - Details

• Ctrl+Shift+7 - Tiles

• Ctrl+Shift+8 - Content
