Depending on your version and whether you're running on a VC or in X, it's either Shift-F6 or Shift-F4. In comparison, in File Commander/2 and File Commander/W, it's simply F6 - if the opposite panel is not showing, meaning move to new name in current directory - while if opposite panel is showing, move file to DIR of opposite panel. -- " It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible."
