Total Commander

Total Commander is the software for file management. The customized settings and layout (two columns) I suggested was as follows:

Total Commander

v.8.51a

Quick to rename file name with F2

Step 1: Configuration --> Options --> Operation: Select only the file name when renaming (not the extension)

Step 3: Select a file

• Press F2 once: Select only the file name when renaming (not the extension)
• Press F2 twice: Select the file name and the extension when renaming

cursor movement mode of Total Commander

New cursor movement mode in the [Configuration] region

• Menu -> Configuration -> Change Settings Files Directly
• Edit %APPDATA%\GHISLER\WINCMD.INI
• add the following line (note: not insert after this line [FileSystemPlugins64] ...)

[Configuration]
SpecialCursorMovement=3 
...
...
[FileSystemPlugins64]
...

• Save the modified WINCMD.INI file and restart the Total Commander

manual

New cursor movement mode. Sum of the following:
	1: Left key jumps to first file, right key to last
	2: Left key goes one directory up, right key opens directory/archive under cursor.
	4: Override horizontal scrollbar in custom columns view. If this option isn't set, the cursor will jump only to the first file if the horizontal scrollbar is already at the leftmost position.
	8: Jump one page up/down instead of jumping to the first/last file

(from the official HELP file -> title: Settings in the file wincmd.ini )

• 3 means
  • 'Left key' jumps to first file, and press twice 'Left key' will go one directory up
  • 'Right key' will open directory/archive under cursor.

Troubleshooting

• Err: New cursor movement mode was not work (Total Commander 7.02a)
