Hello,
I read through the help file, and looked at the shortcuts available. But I couldn't find what I needed. Part of the problem is that I don't know what the #1 and #2 are called in TC.
#1 is the current directory and I can click on the field and manually change it. But when I click on the field, it takes a few sec before it allows me to type a different directory.
Also, I'm not sure what #2 is called, but I love that I can give command line commands from there. Is there a shortcut to get to that field?

I thought the IMG BBCode would imbed the picture, but I guess not?
Shortcut keys to access these two fields

Re: Shortcut keys to access these two fields
#1 can be called path bar, or simply current directory as the TC Options dialog calls it. It can be focused by activating the rename function (Shift+F6, or F2 if it's been remapped) when the cursor is on the [..] item, i.e. the first item in the list. Not sure if there's a general shortcut without having to set the cursor on [..] item.
#2 is called command line. To set focus to it, press Cursor-right (or Cursor-left). F8 can also be used if the intent is to open the command line history.
AFAIK there's a command behind both of them, meaning you can set a different key (combination) if so desired - see Options > Misc > Redefine hotkeys section.

Re: Shortcut keys to access these two fields
Thank you! For those who may be looking for the same thing in the future, I remapped the key via
Configurations, Options, Misc, then the HotKey section, I pulled up F2. Then in the magnifying glass to the right, and chose cm_EDITPATH.
The right arrow for the command line didn't need changing.

Re: Shortcut keys to access these two fields
For future reference:
The command for #1 is cm_EditPath
The command for #2 is cm_FocusCmdLine
The command for #1 is cm_EditPath
The command for #2 is cm_FocusCmdLine
