Changing lister panes using cursor arrows

[Derek Cornish]

I used Laplink Pro (DOS) until quite recently as my file manager. In fact, until I found Total Commander I tried many other file managers, but always came back to Laplink for its clarity and ease of use - despite its lack of support for long filenames.

Now I have moved over completely to TC, there is only one thing I miss from Laplink: the ability to move between the dual lister panes using left and right cursor arrows instead of the Tab key.

Is there some way that I can (easily!) change some setting to achieve this?

1. menu Configuration/Options
2. tab sheet misc.
3. group "Redefine hotkeys (keyboard remapping)
4. Select "Left" from key combobox
5. Select cm_FocusLeft
6. Press the small button to the right
Repeat steps 4-6 in for setting the "Right" key to cm_Focusright

Wonderful! Thanks very much. It's like Laplink on steroids now...

But with these keys set to cm_focusleft and cm_focusright user cannot use them in command line. This concerns all other keys that are used in
command line. Maybe Christian should add an option to preserve default actions of these keys when command line is active.

[Derek Cornish]

Good point, Gregory, and your suggestion would be a useful option for those who use the command line.

I don't tend to use the command line, however, so the proposed solution will be fine for my needs. Others may not want to pay the price <g>.
