Keyboard CommandsCommandsKeyboardKeyboard UsageIn this chapter you will learn how to use the keyboard
effectively, because most operations can be done more quickly
by keyboard than with the mouse. It will take some time to learn
the &keybindigs-lnk;, but mastering them saves you a
lot of time. Please note that &krusader; can use
&keybindigs-profiles-lnk; to swap easily to other
Key-binding setups, e.g. of other commanders, or you can create
your own key-bindings.After
starting &krusader;, the keyboard action can
begin. Use &Ctrl;l to jump to the
&location-toolbar-lnk; where you can type the
desired directory. After &Ctrl;Down arrow
you are in the
&termemu-lnk; and you can type any command you
desire. Use &Ctrl;Up arrow
to jump back to the active panel. If
you want to jump to a file or directory that starts with "f",
then simply press "f" on the keyboard to use the
&quick-search-lnk; . Use the Enter key to execute
the file or to open a directory that has the focus. Be sure to
remember the Function Keys - F3 to View, F4 to Edit,
F5 to Copy, &Alt;u to Unpack, etc.You can also perform several operations with the
&foldertabs-lnk;, including several
selection operations. And at
the end you can close &krusader; with F10.Key-BindingsKey-BindingsCommandsKeyboardMost of the key-bindings (shortcuts) are configurable in
the SettingsConfigure Shortcuts menu, if you like to use other key-bindings then the
default ones. You can even configure
more actions to a Key-Binding (for the actions that don't have a key-binding set by default).
Please note that some key-bindings are not &krusader; key-bindings ⪚
&kde; key-bindings). The key-bindings that
&krusader; uses by default are listed below.Function (FN) KeysThese are the Key-Bindings of the
&fnkeybar-lnk;. These Key-Bindings are configurable
