Go back to the root folder
Ctrl+Pos1

- it should be Home

Compress selected files Alt+F5
Uncompress selected archive Alt+F6

- in FC it's "pack/unpack"

Exit program and save settings

- it should be first save, then exit, moreover, not always the settings are saved on exit

Select some of the files and folders in the current window.
Select all files with the same extension in the current window.

- why dot at the end, only in these 2 cases and not the others?

Sort the files and folders in current window by time

- perhaps it should be "by date/time"

Define folder favorites
Add current folder to the list of favorite folders
The first 10 folder favorites
Show popup menu for folder favorites

- Shift+Ctrl+F in FC "items" is used instead of "folders"

Go back to the root folder

- why back, if I wasn't there before? I'd remove "back" word

History - back
History - next

- it should be back/forward, as in all other similar programs and web browsers

Activate/deactivate quick filter field

- since it works differently now with the new option, it should be just "Activate/deactivate quick filter"

Toggle view in current window between list and details

- since it can be changed in ini and later perhaps in the settings, I'd change it to just "Toggle views in current window"

Show tree view for current window (on/off)
Show favorites tree (on/off)


- previous items use the words "toggle" or "switch", so here it should be used too, or use "Show/hide..." instead

Extras

- it has been changed to "Tools"

Define layouts Ctrl+Y

- the shortcut is wrong

Define program favorites

- in the program it's "favorite tools"

Access the first 10 program favorites

- I'd change it to "Access the first 10 favorite items"

The first 10 folder favorites

- elswhere the word access is used, so I'd change it the same way "Access the first 10 folder favorites"

Insert name of the current folder in the command line
Insert name of the selected file alebo folder in the command line
Insert path and name of the selected file alebo folder in the command line

- I'd use "into" instead of "in" here

I know some other shortcuts might be outdated or wrong, so if you find some, please let us know. Thanks.

Thanks! It was very usefull.
I have update the file http://freecommander.com/files/fc_ShortCuts_en.htm.zip.
Shortcut for "Restore last closed TAB" added.

Plain view - files , folders

- this item is missing in the list

Are you sure? Last two items in the "View" table.

Yes, I am, there are 3 such options:

Plain view - files
Plain view - folders
Plain view - files , folders (missing)

It's missing also in the main menu, already reported in the new topic.

Plain view - files , folders (missing)

You are right but we have no default shortcut for that item.

Hm.. that's even worse, no menu item, no shortcut... What about Ctrl+Alt+B?

"Plain view - files , folders" with the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+B added as menu item.
The current shortcuts file is updated http://freecommander.com/files/fc_ShortCuts_en.htm.zip.

May be it is necessary to make keyboard shortcuts in a single style in fc_ShortCuts_en.htm?
For example, we have:
Shift+Ctrl+Del
Shift+Ctrl+I
...
and then we see other shortcuts in different order
Ctrl+Shift+F2
Ctrl+Shift+R
...

and change
+(Num) -> (Num+)
-(Num) -> (Num-)
*(Num) -> (Num*)
because shortcuts like Alt++(Num), Ctrl+*(Num), Ctrl+-(Num), Alt+-(Num) look very strange.

Yes, you are right. Thanks for your notice.
