Configuring Shortcuts

By default, 4Pane uses the standard key-bindings for things like Copy and Paste, and usually follows PowerDesk and/or Konqueror for others. However all shortcuts can be changed to those of your choice, either from the Configure Shortcuts page of the Configuration dialog (Options > Configure 4Pane) or by pressing Ctrl-S. You will see a list of all the possible commands. Double-click on the one to be changed (or select it and press Enter), and a dialog will appear which will let you:


If you're using gtk2 (and you probably are), the Configure Shortcuts page of the Configuration dialog has an extra tick-box at the top. This turns on and off gtk2's hijack of the F10 key, which it uses to open the File menu. I prefer to use F10 as the Create a new file or directory shortcut, as does Konqueror, but if you want it to open a menu, this is where you can tell it to. You'll have to restart 4Pane for it to take effect, and you'll need a different "Create File" shortcut. In gtk1 this isn't needed, and in X11 it can't be overridden.
