"windows" reversed the convention. before windows existed in the mac and amiga etc. worlds shift was multi-select, control was range select. i am following the original convention by default. efm can switch to do it the "windows way". but nothng is exposed in the gui to do that - the code is there though. > Like many of you I would like to have shortcuts to copy/paste and I'll add : > Alt+directions to navigate through folders like in others filemanager. > > + a module like efm_nav and path but which will show us the path with > buttons for a speedy navigation > > + an implementation of the "delete in trash" like in the trash module > > + a column view like in the macos finder, but raster said : > > the fm widget views 1 directory at a time - that's how its built. you could do this with multiple fm views... but this is going too far. efm is intended as a basic SIMPLE fm that you get "for free" because the majority of the infra for a fm is already lurking inside e - and this just exposes it. we need to get e17 released and so i want efm to remain simple - we can worry about more features after release - unless those features are really core to the thing working properly at all. as such the old fm that brought up a new window per dir worked wonders on macos and amigaos and a dozen others for many years. its very simple and flexible. thats all i wanted for e17 - fore e18 etc. we can look at doing more. > > changing that is major surgery. > > > So I don't know if it's feasible, but could be really great with some nice > translations when the columns have to slide, and could permits the last > column to show some more informations on the file selected...
