Ways of selecting files:
Just discovered using Keypad + sign for selecting a bunch of files matching filename / extension etc. I would normally use Alt+G or Alt+H. Pressing alt+num plus runs the last selection filter. You can fine tune, adding and subtracting selected files, using Num plus + and Num minus - symbols on the keypad.

i wanted to know, how to select files quickly, for the selected filetype, eg I have 1 file selected (a txt file), can you press a key combo / shortcut for x2 to select all files of that type? autofilter?

So lead me to think - - -
Workflow and getting around (default keyboard layout)
Within dual panes:
Tab - switches panes
Ctrl+e - resize panes to be equal (left and right), or maximise current pane view
Ctrl+Tab - switches to the miniscrap, if displayed, and then to the address bar
Shift+Tab - switches to the address bar directly
Ctrl+Insert - clones the current tab / opens new tab
(select file(s) or folders+files)
Alt+Enter - view the file properties dialog for selected item(s)
Ctrl+Insert - clones the current tab / opens selected folders in new tabs
(select a single folder)
Alt+Enter - loads the folder in the other pane
So, I (slowly) make my way around x2 and the file system, trying to remember all sorts of keyboard handiness.
What tricks or shortcuts do you use within x2 which you think may have gone unnoticed by the masses? What 'workarounds' <cough> do you use which makes your x2 work-flow a little easier?
