I am trying to learn how to adjust the panes to equal size. In 2xExploer the command was ctrl-e. That doesn't seem to work for xplorer2. Suggestions?
Thanks

Move your mouse over the dividing border between the panes. It will change to a double-arrow. Doubclick. The divider will move to the center of the available width.
But if you have activated folder tree and/or quickviewer, first of all you have to drag its divider to a desitred position: you cannot doubleclick on that divider, otherwise that divider will jump to the middle of the available width!

keyboard shortcut
Sorry to revive an old thread, but is there a remote chance to bring back the old keyboard shortcut (CTRL-E) to equal the panes like the old 2x used to do?
I know you could mouse your mouse to the splitter bar and double-click it to achieve the same thing, but I found it quite a pain in the neck to move my hand away from the keyboard and look for the mouse and then locate the 1-2 pixels splitter bar
One may argue that you need to use the mouse to resize the panes in the first place...but personally I think hitting a keyboard shortcut to equalize the panes still could improve efficiency a whole lot.
Please give it a consideration and thanks for the great product Nikos.

I'm curious about how, if you started with equal panes, they got to be unequal, if not by mouse click-n-drag 
& the correllary philosophical question is ... "If that wasn't a pain in the neck, why should a d-click on splitter be such?"
... But I suppose you already answered: "habit"
... I'm not trying to put the suggestion down ... just making an observation.
... & I recognize that often "habit" implies an innate useability, which is mostly desireable.
btw, nikos, I checked through all the 'used' Ctrl+key combo's & it looks like ctrl+E is currently unassigned.
