File and Path Operations


Most file operations involve standard Windows procedures, but some differ a little.


Selecting 

  • Select: single click
  • Window select: draw selection rectangle with Middle-Mouse-Button (no need to hunt for empty space between files, drag from anywhere)
  • Select several files: Ctrl+Click if files are not contiguous in the list, Shift+Click if they are


Selecting with keyboard only: If you hold Ctrl key, you can use up/down arrows to focus another file and press spacebar (while still holding Ctrl, it will toggle selection on that file). Holding Shift+Ctrl will keep adding files as you click the down key


  • Note: File selection check boxes are currently not planned


Opening folders and files


  • Open: double click or Enter key
  • Open several files: select all then press Enter (it may take a looong time)
  • Open with dialog: Ctrl+Enter
  • Open .exe or .bat as Admin:  Ctrl+Enter
  • Open .exe with custom launch arguments: Ctrl+Shift+Enter



Single-click to open

You can set OneCommander to single-click open either files and folders, or just files, but this may be removed in the future; see Settings > Other.
