Quick Start & Pro Tips

Customize Keyboard Shortcuts for Efficiency

1. Open Multi Commander and navigate to Configuration in the menu bar.
2. Select Keyboard Customization to open the settings dialog.
3. Choose between Commander-Style or Windows Explorer-Style presets, or select a specific module (e.g., Core, Explorer Panel) and category (e.g., Global, Module-Specific).
4. Locate the command you wish to modify, click in the shortcut field, and press your desired key combination.
5. Click Assign to save the new shortcut.

Reason To Do This: Tailoring keyboard shortcuts allows you to create a workflow that perfectly matches your habits, significantly increasing speed and reducing mouse reliance for common file management tasks. This customization is crucial for power users seeking maximum productivity.

Create Custom Commands for Automation

1. Right-click in the Quick Launch Bar area (usually at the bottom of the interface) and select Insert User Defined Command.
2. In the Custom Commands dialog, select a Group (e.g., Core Modules, Extensions) and then a Function from the dynamic list.
3. Configure any required parameters for the function, using dropdowns or MultiTag syntax for dynamic values.
4. Test the command to ensure it functions as expected.
5. Save the command and assign it to a button on the Quick Launch Bar or a keyboard shortcut.

Reason To Do This: Custom commands enable you to automate complex or frequently repeated tasks with a single click or keypress. This feature leverages Multi Commander‘s extensive built-in functionality and scripting capabilities, allowing for sophisticated automation without requiring full scripting knowledge, thereby saving considerable time and effort.
