| + | ===== Using the Interface ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | While you can control the interface with mouse, it is primarily designed to be controlled using keyboard. If you are not familliar with the Norton Commander concept there are few important thinks you need to learn: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Use ''Tab'' key to switch between the left and right panel | ||
| + | * Keyboard shortcut for file operations are sensitive to the panel that has focus. I.e. if the local panel has focus, pressing ''F5'' (copy) will cause upload of select files, while if the remote panel has focus, pressing the same key will cause download of select files. | ||
| + | * By default [[ui_commander#selecting_files|file selection]] works very different to what you may be used to from other Windows applications (like Windows explorer). | ||

| + | ==== Selecting Files ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | By default file selection works very different to what you may be used to from other Windows applications. Differences are: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Selection is not cleared when you click outside of the selected regior or change the focused file. | ||
| + | * When selecting files using keyboard use ''Space'' or ''Insert'' key. ''Space'' just selects/unselects focused file. ''Insert'' beside the selection moves the focus to the next file. So you may select five files in a row by pressing ''Insert'' keys five times. | ||
| + | * You can also select/unselect files by mask (like ''*.html''), using //Plus/Minus// keys on numeric keypad. | ||
| + | * For other selection shortcuts see //Mark// menu. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You may wish to switch to [[ui_pref_commander|standard Windows selection style]]. | ||
