Forceing immediate copy or move

Post by gthorley »

In the previous program 2explorer couldn't you use shift f5 to force an immediate copy between panes. Is this available on xplorer2? Whenever I try it it beeps.

The "copy to ..." keys/combos are:
Copy selection to <pick a target folder> = F5
Copy selection to last "target folder" = Alt+F5
Copy selection to opposite pane = Ctrl+F5 <--{what you asked}
{note that Ctrl+F5 does not change the last "target folder" }.

similarly for "Move to ...", the keys/combos are:
Move selection to <pick a target folder> = F6
Move selection to last "target folder" = Alt+F6
Move selection to opposite pane = Ctrl+F6
{note that Ctrl+F6 does not change the last "target folder" }.

I thought this was covered in the manual, but it isn't (at least not correctly, because of a swizzle between unmodified F5/F6 and adding Ctrl & Alt modifier keys for 'safety' around alpha .51 or .52 last December, & the proofreader/testers didn't catch the change when the manual came up for review, months later. :oops: ).
