So, what's your favourite TC shortcut or shortcut combination ? Which one do you use and for what purpose ?
Among my most often used:
Ctrl-Left ( or Ctrl-Right ) - open archive or folder under cursor in opposite tab.
Ctrl-Shift-Enter, Alt-F8, Ctrl-X - copy full file path to clipboard. Shift-F6, Shift-End(if needed), Ctrl-C - copy only file name w/o path.
Select files, Ctrl-M - multi-rename, for example remove "DVDrip" from file names.
Ctrl-\ - go to root directory.
Ctrl-D, - go to directory with highlighted letter specified. For example, name a downloads directory "&Downloads" in favourites, and the letter after ampersand will be highlighted.
Alt-F7, feed to listbox, Ctrl-A, Mark(menu)->Save selection to file - creates a file with all files and directories inside current, with full path.
Ctrl-[3-6] - sort files by name(3), extension(4), date(5), size(6). For example, Sort by name, when you need movies and soundracks with the same name and different extension to group them together. Sort by extension, when you need to find EXEs in Windows directory. Sort by Date, when you need to find the latest file downloaded in your dir. Sort by size, when you need to delete the largest files for free space.
