Settings Configure Shortcuts Configure Shortcuts Opens a dialog which allows you to configure the &krusader; key bindings. With the Import shortcuts and Export shortcuts buttons you can load and save a Key-binding profile. This allows &krusader; to have the Total Commander, Midnight Commander, foo-commander, or your custom Key-bindings. The only limitation is that global &plasma; key-bindings and some &krusader; key-bindings cannot be changed yet, as well as some features in foo-commander that we either do not have or need. The Key-bindings are stored in /usr/share/krusader, foo.keymap.info contains a description, foo.keymap is an ini file that holds the Key-bindings. Until &krusader;-1.70.1 this was a binary file, &krusader; is backwards compatible for importing this legacy binary format. If a *.keymap.info text file exists, &krusader; will display it, showing additional information regarding the loaded Key-bindings file. Here you have a chance to exit without importing the proposed Key-bindings file. A Total Commander Key-bindings file is provided. Please upload your favorite Key-bindings schemes so that they become available for the &krusader; community. Thanks! Settings Configure Toolbars Opens a dialog which allows you to configure the Main Toolbar or the Actions Toolbar. You can add action buttons of your favourite UserActions to the desired toolbar.

Once invoked, it displays a list of every mounted file system. For each file system, MountMan displays its name (which is the actual device name - &ie; /dev/sda1 for a first partition on first HDD), its type (ext4, ext3, ntfs, vfat, ReiserFS...) and its mount point on your system (the directory on which the file system is mounted). If you want filter out non-removable devices from the list, just check the item Show only removable devices at the left of the device list. -
MountMan MountMan
MountMan also displays usage information using total size, free size, and percentage of available space free. If those numbers say N/A, that usually means that the file system is not mounted. Left clicking on a file system displays a pie chart on the left of the window, graphically displaying the usage information for the file system. Clicking on a non-mounted file system will display not mounted instead of the graph. Double-clicking on a file system will close MountMan and open that file system inside &krusader;'s active panel. Right-clicking on a file system will open a small menu which displays what actions can be performed on that file system. At the moment, you can only mount, unmount and eject (if clicking on a removable file system, ⪚, a &CD-ROM;). We plan to expand MountMan in the next evolution of &krusader;. It will be able to format partitions, edit /etc/fstab, create new file systems and more.... By the way, we have started working on it, see "Quickmode for MountMan". Quickmode for MountMan To activate Quickmode for MountMan, click lateral button with arrow on the MountMan button on the Main Toolbar. General idea: display a list of all possible mount points. Each time the menu is displayed, it determines if a mount point is mounted or not and associates the correct action (mount or umount). This offers a quick interface to MountMan. It is working, and currently uses KMountMan::mount and unmount. It uses the new &kf5-full; services for fstab-reading and this will enable us to remove a lot of code from the "old" MountMan.

The interface is simple: left panel, right panel and a command line below. Because of interaction between these three items the file managing will become more efficient. If you would like to know how &krusader; works you can try it yourself, just install it on your computer. To accept an Orthodox File Manager (OFM) like &krusader;, the user needs to get used to new ideas that are actually already 20 years old. If you prefer to waste time and lose a lot of productivity, you can always continue to use one panel file managers that are based on &Windows; Explorer. &krusader; Main Window
&krusader; Main Window &krusader; Main Window
The User Interface is based on Orthodox File Manager (OFM) paradigm, a 20- year old principle that has proven its bones. It is known as simple, easy and powerful. In the following sections we will cover the basic functions of each part with the exception of: The Menu Bar which has a chapter of its own. The Bookmarks which has a chapter of its own. The Status Bar shows the properties of the current file (that is being) in focus.
Toolbars &krusader; comes with several Toolbars. Main Toolbar Toolbar Main Toolbar
Main Toolbar Main Toolbar
The &krusader; Main Toolbar is a standard &kde; toolbar that can be dragged around the application (please unlock it first by unchecking the Lock Toolbar Positions item in the right-click menu) or configured via a Right-Click menu. You can decide whether or not you want to display it each time you start &krusader; in the Konfigurator Startup page, and you can toggle its use in the current session in the Settings menu. The Main Toolbar contents can be configured from the Configure Toolbars in the Settings menu. Since various commands and options in &krusader; are context-dependent, some commands are not always available. The icon of an inappropriate or inactive action will be deactivated (grayed-out) disabling its use. Bookmarks can be placed into the Main Toolbar and the Actions Toolbar with the mouse using "drag and drop".
Job Toolbar Toolbar Job Toolbar By default, the &krusader; Job Toolbar (Queue Manager or simply the JobMan) is located at the right part of the Main Toolbar. This toolbar allows you to view the job progress, to pause and resume the job list execution and to undo the last executed job. Actions Toolbar Toolbar Actions Toolbar UserActions and Bookmarks can be "plugged" into the Actions Toolbar. To show it, use Settings Show Actions Toolbar . To add user actions, use Settings Configure Toolbars and select Actions Toolbar. You can, for example, drag the Actions Toolbar to the right side using the mouse. Location Toolbar Toolbar Location Toolbar Below the Main Toolbar there is a Location Toolbar for each panel. It shows the path the panel is currently pointing to. When entering archives the path will be displayed in the following format: "archive type:/directory/archive_filename/the directory inside the archive". This format makes the paths uniform and easy to read. The Location Toolbar supports also KIO Slaves but not all of them, some can only be used with the viewer and some can not be used. The user can enter a desired path by clicking on it. /mnt/cdrom/ settings:/ will browse and open entries of the &systemsettings;. trash:/ opens trash folder. mtp:/ uses the kio_mtp to access, upload and organize the multimedia stored on Android-based devices. And last but not least Remote Connections . You can copy-paste a &URL; in the Location Toolbar or use a middle click. With the Right-Click menu you can configure the auto-complete function. An optional Clear Location Toolbar button is also available. Quick Navigation: &Ctrl; point with mouse in the middle of &URL; of the Location Toolbar. A pop-up window shows the next &URL; location. Pressing &Ctrl; + Left Mouse Button shows the location where the mouse was pointing to. This feature allows faster navigation in a big directory tree. Panel Toolbar Toolbar Panel Toolbar Each panel has a configurable Panel Toolbar. The complete Panel Toolbar or specific buttons can be made visible or be hidden. OpenDir Button: opens the directory browser. Equals Button (=): changes the panel directory to the other panel directory. Up Button (..): changes the panel directory to the parent directory. Home Button (~): changes the panel directory to the home directory. Root Button (/): changes the panel directory to the root directory. Sync-browsing Button: when active, each directory change in the specific panel is performed in the other panel as well.
Panels The &krusader; panels are where most of the action takes place. Currently, there are two types of panels: List Panel: shows the files and directories. Sidebar: has several display modes: Preview, Tree, Quickselect, View and Disk Usage for the file or directory that has the focus. The Sidebar may be left open or closed, as desired. &krusader; is a "twin-panel" file manager so there are two panels: the "Left" panel and the "Right" panel, or a more important logical distinction, the *Active* panel and the *Inactive* panel. The active panel is the one that will accept your mouse and keyboard input. If you choose a command from the Menu-Bar or Toolbar the command will act upon the selected files/directories in the active panel. You can switch between panels using the key or by clicking on the Information or Totals labels, or by selecting any file in a panel with the mouse. As always, default startup settings can be modified with the Konfigurator Startup page, and you control the current session with the Settings menu.
List Panel List Panel
List Panel Panel List Panel This is the default panel and the one you will probably use most of the time. This panel shows the contents of one directory which can be local (part of your mounted file systems, either a native file or the files inside an archive) or remote files (accessed via &FTP;, NFS or Samba). There are two modes: Detailed View that shows the file names, file size, creation date and time and their attributes. And Brief View that shows only the file names, the number of brief columns can be changed, by right clicking on the Name header. File copy/paste/cut via clipboard between &konqueror; and &krusader; &Ctrl; C, &Ctrl; V, &Ctrl; X is supported. &Alt;&Ctrl; R toggles the List Panel between horizontal and vertical mode. The following items are available: Information Label : shows how much free space is physically available on the file system, the file system capacity and where the filesystem is mounted. If the information is not available (most often in the case of remote file system) a message will be displayed with the reason for unavailability instead of the information. The Media button on the left of the Information Label displays a list of all available media, where you can select the desired media (HDD partition, DVD, USB stick, &etc;). Pressing &Ctrl;Return when the Media menu is opened mounts the highlighted media when it is unmounted, and unmounts it when it is mounted. The context menu of a medium gives several options like Mount, Open in a new tab, &etc; The Media menu is configurable. Column Headers : here you can change the sort order of the files and directories as desired. The default sort order is by Name. The sort order can be instantly changed by clicking on one of the Column Headers. To reverse the sort order, click a second time on the Column Header. An arrow will appear on the right of the Column Header text, showing the sort direction (Up arrow = A to Z sorting, Down arrow = Z to A sorting). Default UserActions set a keybinding for the Column Headers. The default Column Headers are: Name, Ext, Size, Modified, rwx. Predefined Atomic extensions like .tar.gz are shown as one part in the Ext Column. More optional Column Headers are available with the &RMB;. The width Column Headers can be changed with the mouse by single clicking and moving the divider line to the desired width (keep the mouse button pressed). Both List Panels remember the sort order and column width. The Column Headers can be changed and saved individually to each panel. File List : displays the files and directories in the browsed directory. The search bar allows you to search for files by typing their names, or the first few characters of a file name. Pressing &Enter; or double clicking on a file will open/execute that file. You can select/unselect files using the mouse, with the Insert key or the Edit menu. Totals Label : selecting or deselecting files will change the Totals Label : selecting or deselecting files will change the Totals Label at the bottom of the panel, which displays how many files you have selected (and how much total disk space they use) as well as the total file and disk usage of the current directory (as opposed to the information label that displays information for the whole file system). If a directory contains a lot of subdirectories, it may not be possible to drop the &URL; onto the panel (on which only directories are visible), but the &URL; can be dropped onto the "Information Label" or "Totals Label" instead. When a custom filter is set, it will show the setting, example: [*.cpp]. When using the "&kde; default colors", then the selected files are shown in blue and the current file is surrounded by a fine-lined rectangle. By default an icon is shown according to the file type. Use Konfigurator Panel page to change the default configuration to meet your individual needs. Some useful List panel Key-Bindings: &Ctrl; R will refresh the panel. Focus a file or directory on the left panel, press &Ctrl; Right arrow and the right panel changes: On a file: the right panel gets the same path as the left panel. On a directory: right panel opens the directory focused on the left panel. For the right panel: press &Ctrl; Left arrow and the left panel will change. Sidebar Sidebar Sidebar (3rd Panel) This is "&krusader; is 3rd Hand" or the 3rd Panel, click on the arrow-up button on the right of the Totals Label or &Alt; Down-Arrow to open the Sidebar. This panel has several display modes which can be activated by clicking on the appropriate button. Preview Panel : gives a preview of the file that has the focus (currently selected file). Tree Panel : is used to quickly browse the local directory tree. This panel behaves like the list panel but only one directory may be selected at a time and double clicking or pressing &Enter; on a directory will open that directory in the active panel. The panels fully support drag and drop (copy, move, link) mouse actions. Quick Panel : is used to quickly select files, ⪚ enter *.png and click on the Go button. The "floppy" button stores the current selection. The "select group dialog" is also available. Viewer Panel : views a text file, views an image, &etc; A thumbnail view is generated whenever you open the Viewer Panel. Disk Usage Panel : views the Disk Usage of a directory. It is possible to change the sidebar placement using the rotation button which is located to the left of the arrow down button at the bottom part of the &krusader; tab. Each click on this button moves the sidebar on one position in the loop "bottom-left-top-right". If needed you can resize the window ⪚ to better display a picture or view a file contents. Click on the arrow down button to close the 3rd Hand Panel. Folder History Both panels remember recently visited folders. Click on the Folder history button ("watch" symbol) to open the folder history list. Here you can quickly change to previously visited folders. The currently focused folder is checked. On every new start of &krusader;, the history list is populated by the items from previous run (history is saved).
Command Line / Terminal Emulator This part of the GUI can have four modes: Command Line, Terminal Emulator, show both and show none. You can choose your mode of operation either on start-up with the Konfigurator Startup page, or for the current session with the Settings menu . Command Line
Command Line Command line
The traditional command line mode offers a single line of input to enter commands, it also features three buttons: command history (down arrow) to quick open previous used commands Useraction expander (green plus button) to add easy Useraction placeholders run in terminal mode (console icon) button with the next options: Start and Forget Display Separated Standard and Error Output Display Mixed Standard and Error Output Start in New Terminal Send to Embedded Terminal Emulator When you start typing your commands, the command line auto-completion feature will make its offers according to what you choose in the &systemsettings;. If you want to change the way auto-complete behaves in the current &krusader; session, right click on the command line and change it. To the left of the input line you can find the local path that the active panel is currently pointing to. This path is where your command will be executed. Typing cd <directory> in the command line will also cause the active panel to point to this directory. Click here to view the command line keybindings.
Terminal Emulator
Terminal Emulator Terminal emulator
The terminal emulator mode is in fact a small console and acts like one. You can change the active directory in the terminal by using the cd command. The terminal emulator will follow the active panel directory. You can drag a file from the List Panel and name of file will pasted into Terminal Emulator. If you drag multiple files, the names will pasted into Terminal Emulator. A full-screen terminal emulator can be used when configured or &Ctrl; &Shift;F toggles between normal and full screen mode. If the command line is hidden, press &Ctrl; Arrow down to focus the terminal emulator. &Ctrl; Arrow up brings you back down. &Ctrl;&Enter; and &Ctrl; &Shift; &Enter; paste the filename. You can close the emulator by typing exit . Click here to view the Terminal emulator keybindings.
Function (FN) Keys Bar
Function (FN) Keys Bar Function (FN) Keys Bar
This bar gets its name from the function (FN) keys it represents. For each button on this bar there is a corresponding function key that performs the same action. This bar is derived from the design of the first twin-panel file managers and the FN keys usually act the same way with two changes: the F2 key is used to rename files and the F9 key will open a terminal at the last local path that the active panel pointed to. Mkdir F7 can create whole directory trees on the fly ⪚ foo/bar/test. You can choose to display or not the FN keys bar when starting up &krusader; via the Konfigurator Startup page, and you can toggle its use in the current session with the Settings menu. The actions and Key-Bindings performed by the function keys are configurable since version 1.51, they will remain active with or without the FN keys bar displayed.
Folder Tabs
Folder Tabs Folder Tabs
With Folder Tabs you can quickly change to multiple folders; each panel has its own Folder Tabs. The Folder Tabs positions are saved when closing &krusader;. To switch between Folder Tabs, click them with the mouse. Squeezed Folder Tabs have tooltips to display the full path. The following Folder Tabs operations are available: To open a new tab and keep the current tab opened: Right-click on a directory and select Open in New Tab.
