You could use TCPlugman for managing all plugins. It makes it really easy.

Warning: It will not be shown whether a hotkey is used internally by Total Commander or not. Reason: Total Commander uses a more efficient system internally for hotkeys.
Is there a way to view all mapped hotkeys in total commander?

In the Configuration-> Misc. dialog click on the button that has a down-arrow on it - just below the "Redefine hotkeys (Keyboard remapping)" legend

No, namely the default internally mapped hotkeys, not the remapped.

You mean by editing WCMD_ENG.MNU?
Maybe I missed something, can you please explain me how to add shortcut correctly and how to load this file?
For example I have this string in this file:

Code: Select all

MENUITEM "*.*\tCtrl + Alt + F12", cm_srcuserspec
And load WCMD_ENG.MNU in Configuration —> Language —> Main menu file.
Reload TC, but this shortcut isn't displayed in corresponding menu item.
Also I have this shortcut in [Shortcuts] section of wincmd.ini.
TC 9.12

MENUITEM "*.*\tCtrl + Alt + F12", cm_srcuserspec
You cannot assign an underlined hotkey for this specific menu item, because "*.*" is dynamically replaced with the current Custom file type filter.

This is probably also why you cannot get "Ctrl + Alt + F12" displayed for this particular internal command.

Got it, thank you!
Btw, the shortcut itself works: I can turn on the last filetype filter by pressing it.

It is possible to do it quickly with Hotkeys Editor

1- Backup your menu file, so you can restore in case you didn't like the result.
2- Run Hotkeys Editor
3- Execute Export to Main Menu... from File menu
4- A dialog box appears contain many options, play with these options until you get the result you like.

Note: you have to restart TC to see changes
