Standard Windows selection

[Instructor]

Is there way to do the standard operations of the selection (as in Windows). Thanks.

Hi and welcome to this forum!

If I understand you right, you mean file selection with a mouse. For that choose Configuration -> options -> operation -> Mouse selection mode -> 'left mousebutton'

HTH,

[Instructor]

Hi, I mean then you move cursor down from first file to second it unselect first and select second. And selection hotkeys CTRL+SPACE, CTRL+UP(DOWN,LEFT,RIGHT), SHIFT+UP(DOWN,LEFT,RIGHT).

Hi !
- You might give a look in the Help Menu >> Keyboard.
- TC has no legacy from Explorer, but mainly a lot of own handy shortcuts to navigate in the lists / select files…
- Some are even simpler. In "Thumbnails" view, you can use the arrows Up, Down, Right, Left "as is" to navigate and mark a file directly… Just an example.

 Kind regards,

OK I just asked. This kind of option will be great.

mainly a lot of own handy shortcuts to navigate in the lists / select files…

Yes a lot, but I found nothing.

Status line in Explorer very useful: then you move cursor, like I sad, it shows size, date, type for file, BUT if no files selected it shows status line like in "Full" view. To view file size in Total Commander it's not handy select it (because cursor no select by default) and file information tip also not handy. Is there any way?

P.S.:
Sorry for my pure English.

Activate the setting StickyNomad has mentioned and "use inverted cursor" in config-layout-color. After that please try to explain again what you are still missing...

Displaying file dates in status line is not possible.

In Brief view it works fine.

Indeed, I thought he was asking for ability in Full View.

How can I set cursor to select by default (I use keyboard)?
I want: then cursor move it select new file and unselect previous ("inverted cursor" is just color, but it's not select file).

[Hacker]

You can select / unselect files by using Insert or Space (and the mouse, too). Why do you want to select files just by moving the cursor? How can you efficiently select files like this?

Roman

[Instructor]

I don't want to select files just by moving the cursor. I want that the one file if I moving cursor by keyboard be selected (like in Explorer).

Never mind, thanks for help. I'm much appreciated.

Enter under [Configuration] in wincmd.ini:
SingleClickStart=1
