Krusader 2.3.0-beta1 "New Horizons" released!

[Dirk Eschler]

Krusader-2.3.0-beta1 "New Horizons"
===================================
We are pleased to announce a new version of the Krusader file manager. As many
new features have been added to the development version, we decided to skip
the 2.2 cycle entirely.

Being a beta release we ask you to provide bug reports, feedback and patches
to make the upcoming stable as solid as possible.

The highlights of this release are:

- QuickFilter - Default shortcut: CTRL+I
- Actions: Back/Forward in history
- Option: Show directories first
- Selection dialog option: Apply selection to directories
- Filter option: Apply filter to directories

Notice: if you've got bugs to report, please do so using Krusader's
website, and not using KDE's bugzilla (bugs.kde.org).

as always, enjoy
Krusader Krew.

Hi Dirk.
Sometime back I tried using krusader but found no satisfactory way to select a file (with keyboard alone).  Below is the conversation we had then.

Of course the real issue is that although I wish to, I have not been able to grok the OFM paradigm.

So thats 2 questions:
Specific: In the new release has keyboard file selection been made easier?
General: Are there some tutorials or example usage-scenarios for folks wanting to learn to use OFM via krusader?

Thanks

Rusi

One of the reasons I would like to use and OFM like krusader is that I
want to avoid the use of the mouse as much as possible.

However to select a file I seem to find no keyboard shortcut
equivalent to left-click.

Am I missing something?

Hello,

that should work with Shift+Down or simply Space or even Insert (depending on
the selection mode settings you have defined in Konfigurator).

For me all these 3 -- Space, Insert and shift+down -- add to the
selection
Whereas left-click selects the file at current row (and unselects
anything else if selected)
Surely the left click-behavior must be on some key?

Dont know if this has any relevance but I am using krusader 1.90.0
under gnome

Ah okay, now i understand. I'm afraid there is no such key and you have to use
Alt+Minus to clear the selection first.

Alt+- does not work

Nor does Edit -> Unselect all

Only left-clicking seems to work!
