How to naviagte folders via keyboard?

[sreenadh]

First off, I am a newbie & I have a strong feeling that my question might be very silly. But I could not find it in any of the tutorials.

How do I browse folder by only using keyboard? When I type the name of the folder I want to open, it gets typed in "command line". Then when I click "enter", Win explorer opens with the path in the "command line". What am I doing wrong???? I am trying to avoid using mouse. Any helpful links I can use????

FYI, some of the links on the Tutorials in wiki are dead.

If your command line is not empty, Enter executes command in it.

It seems that quick search is what you need, you can set it up in Configuration - Quick search, default combination is Ctrl+Alt+Letters, you may change it to Letters (with search dialog).

Prefix the path by 'cd' command.

[cd c:\temp         ]

instead of
[c:\temp             ]




Search help for "Command line"

The "cd" command is handled internally to change the current directory in the active panel.
If you give the name of a file, TC will place the cursor on that file
