XFolder can now (V0.50) add new keyboard accelerators
(or hotkeys, or shortcuts, whatever terminology you prefer...)
for use within folders. Note that these keys ONLY work when a folder has the focus. They
do not work when any other window is currently active.
All the following keys are just shortcuts to certain menu items.
The default configuration adds the following keys for use within folders:
- F5 will refresh the folder contents.
- Ctrl+A will select all objects in the folder.
- Ctrl+D will de-select all objects in the folder.
- Ctrl+S will select objects by name.
- Ctrl+N will sort the folder contents by name.
- Ctrl+W will sort the folder contents by last write date.
- Ctrl+Y will sort the folder contents by type.
- Ctrl+Z will sort the folder contents by size.
- Ctrl+E will sort the folder contents by
file name extension.
- Ctrl+Shift+D will open the Details view of the same folder.
- Ctrl+Shift+I will open the Icon view of the same folder.
- Backspace will open the parent folder (i.e. the folder
in which the currently open folder resides itself).
- Shift+Backspace will open the parent folder and close
the current folder also.
- Ctrl+Shift+S will open the settings of the current folder.
- Ctrl+Insert will
copy the filename(s)
of the currently selected object(s) in the folder to the clipboard.
The above keys are part of the XFolder default configuration.
You can quite freely re-assign hotkeys in the
Global Settings, where you will find more
than 30 configurable
items, including many OS/2 Warp 4 menu items.
Press the "Help" button on the settings page for details.
