I want to be able to do this on the native android file system, since eink and non native third party apps don't display nicely or smoothly. the directory history (Ctrl+P) inspired by fman.I'm trying to find a way to acess my 60gb digital library on my 32 gb (can't be extended unfortunately) eink tablet through cloud solutions. Our aim it to no implement everything that exists in all other file managers, but rather pick the best ideas with clear benefit, e.g. Regarding your last paragrap ("the general functionality should be identical among implementations"): this is not possible because there are a lot of file managers available and each makes something somehow different.
SMARTSYNCHRONIZE HOW TO
Yes, no identical replacement, but IMHO a more standard approach.ĭid you found out how to change the shortcuts in SmartSynchronize (Edit | Customize)? Regarding Shift+F6: SmartSynchronize (F2) preselects the file name without extension, but a Ctrl+A selects all. For the latter you just need to type the new name. Regarding Shift+F5: With SmartSynchronize the plain copy (F5) can do both, copy to the other panel and copy to the same directory. I used it nearly 20 years ago until I found Altap Salamander (and on Mac/Linux used MC). This is simply GREAT! And a one of world's best diff&merge tools is integrated directly into it! So don't be surprised I started asking for features that I'm used to from other commanders.Īnyway, my general view is that with file managers, the general functionality should be identical among implementations and it is only the extras (like FTP support, ZIP reading&writing, etc.) where an individual implementation can shine. And what happened next - suddenly my favorite diff tool has been turned into a full-fledged file manager with a nice sleek interface.

Finally I found one that I like - but it was abandoned. The interface of some of them looks overcrowded. Most of them are just lacking stuff, maybe even the basic functionality - and I tried a lot of them. Maybe something with Alt can do.įor me, my motivation for writing this feature request was that during the recent years I spent a long time searching for a decent two-panel file manager for Linux. Midnight Commander uses an ugly "Ctrl+X L" (chained) combination. Regarding a shortcut for Create Link - I don't have a suggestion. With copying - I think it is only that Total Commander does not prefill the dialog with the path to a file that will be created in the other panel, but rather a single file name. And the cherry on the cake - if you don't delete the file name, but keep pressing Ctrl+F6 repeatedly, the selection changes between the whole file name (including the extension) and the basename (name sans suffix). (This means that no dialog window is opened.) The file name is preselected, which means that you can either start typing a new name, or you can use the arrow keys to edit only a part of the name.
SMARTSYNCHRONIZE WINDOWS
I don't have a Windows machine here, so I can't make a screenshot of Total Commander - but basically, Ctrl+F6 changes the selected line in the ListView to a LineEdit. I'm not sure if my answer satisfies you - it's more like "once you get used to it, you'll miss it if you don't have it."
