Commands Keyboard In 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-Bindings Commands Keyboard Most of the key-bindings (shortcuts) are configurable in the Settings Configure 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.
