Browser Tabs

Either Browser can have any number of Tabs, each with its own Current Folder. So any instance of One Commander can have a very large number of folders available to be selected as Current Folders.
You can quickly change focus between Browsers with Alt+F, and change the order of the Tabs by dragging them.

Tab Aliases

The Tab Alias is the name that appears on the Tab. By default it is the name of the Tab's Current Folder, but you can change this by selecting Change alias in the Tab's Context Menu. You can change this default behavior in Settings > Other, to show the full path for the Tab.

Creating Tabs

  • Click the button to the right of the current set of Tabs. The new Tab will be a clone of the Tab that currently has the focus, unless you change this behaviour in Settings > Other. Alternatively, select the Tab to be duplicated and press Ctrl+T.
  • Right-click any folder and select Open in... You have the choice of opening that folder as a new Tab in the Current Browser, the other Browser, or a new Window.
  • MMB on any folder in a Folder Column or in the Sidebar.

Moving/copying Tabs between Browsers

Tabs can be moved to the other Browser (if open) using Alt+MMB. Copying a Tab to the other Browser is a two-step process: duplicate the Tab with Ctrl+T or clicking on the button, then move the new Tab to the other Browsers with Alt+MMB.

Closing Tabs

  • Click on the button at the right-hand side of the Tab (which may not be visible if there are too many Tabs; see next section), or
  • MMB

Large numbers of tabs

When you have a large number of Tabs, they shrink to be narrow enough to accommodate all of them. This will typically make them too narrow for the label text to be readable, but their path will be displayed in a Tooltip:

When the cursor passes over narrow tabs, the Close Button doesn't appear until you click on one of them. When you do, the tab expands a little so that you can see both the tab label and the Button.
