shortcut for active address bar in total commander

I use Total Commander as file manager tools and I'm beginner in it. I have a problem: When I want change current directory and enter custom address in address bar, I must click at address bar by mouse then enter my address. I want know there is any shortcut for active address bar without mouse or what define it?

Solution

  • In total commander you can assign a shortcut to almost any possible action.

    To create a shortcut for an action

    Go to

    Configuration > Options > Misc > Redefine Hotkeys

    Select a key combination and (to answer your question) assign it following command:

    cm_EditPath

    enter image description here

    If you want to find other command click on the magnifying glass and then you can filter commands: for example: here are all commands that contain the word 'path'

    enter image description here

    For info, I remapped,

    this makes navigation really fast

    Other usefull shortcuts:

    if you change left directory to same drive as right, it will go automatically to the same folder.

    Last tip, I use the quick search all the time to go quickly to a folder just by typing it's first letters.
