| + | ==== Command Line ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Command line is an optional component, located by default below the file panels. To show/hide the command line, go to //Options > Command Line//. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Using the command line, you can type and execute any shell command. Depending on which file panel is active, the command is executed either on the local machine (if the local panel is active) or on remote server (if the remote panel is active). You can easily see this from the prompt on the left side of the command line. Symbol ''>'' indicates local command, while symbol ''$'' indicates remote command. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can easily [[filenames#command_line|insert names of files]] selected in active panel to command line. | ||
| + | |||
| + | To execute entered command, press ''Enter'' (the input box must have focus). When you execute remote command, [[ui_console|Console window]] is opened to show you the command output. Learn more about [[remote_command|remote commands]] and how to use them. | ||

| + | ===== Using the Interface ===== | ||

| + | * Keyboard shortcut for file operations are sensitive to the panel that has focus. 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, [[#selecting_files|file selection with keyboard]] works very different to what you may be used to from other Windows applications (like Windows Explorer). | ||

| + | ==== Selecting Files ==== | ||
