remap up and down?

Wish ++:
Up and down (even left and right) could be remaped to any other keys.
for example:
Kâ cm_CurserMoveUp
J â cm_CurSerMoveDown

Hm, Total Commander is not the *nix editor vi. So there is no edit and command mode.
Hence: how are you going to type file and folder names which hold the letters j or k after you have instructed Total Commander to interpret j and k as cursor down and cursor up?

You should use
PowerPro - it can reassign any keys to any actions.

Don't you understand? Keys k and j are assigned to moving cursor down and up! It's so simple!

Fully agree. Above it was a joke, as an emoticon shows.
To be serious, if you mutually exchange Up and j, and Down and k, respectively, there is no problem in entering letters and moving cursor. For example, to type "john kennedy" you type [Up]ohn[Space]{down]ennedy". You can try it with any program allowing to redefine keys (e.g. EmEditor or even TC). I've just successfully reassigned PgUp...

If you are referring to entering letters for Quick Search then just change Quick Search to be evoked by Alt+letter, Ctrl+Alt+Letter or use Ctrl+S.
For other input TC does not remap keys when you are in dialog boxes, command line etc. Remapping only takes place when you are in a file panel.
So providing internal commands like cm_cursorUp or cm_CursorDown for cursor movements would be feasible for remapping.
