Do you know the power of SHIFT+F7 ("Change directory")
- cool: c:\windows\expl* = select the first matching file

Jan Rysavy wrote:Another tip

Alt+F5 (Pack) -> Down arrow
Alt+F9 (Unpack) -> Down arrow
selects the first item from history where is prepared path to the other panel.

Depends on settings Options > Configuration > Archives
[ ] Pack to other panel
[ ] Unpack to other panel

SS will allow multiple instances of itself to run as a feature, but this can be disabled (and should be when using a hotkey it will just bring SS to the front/foreground) by choosing Options | General | [x] Allow only one instance of SS at a time. In this way you can use WIN+S to bring up SS at ANY time -- very cool!

grymmjack, how do you set-up win key for shortcut? i can use only ctrl / alt / shift modifiers. i've even tried hex-editing the shortcut file but with no result. i'm using windows xp.

my tips:

num * - select all files (uses shortcut for inverting selection)
ctrl + num * - select all files and directories
ctrl + home - focus first file

The same functionality for files? No problem. Highlight your file and choose F2, CTRL+C, ESC. Filename now on clipboard. Want all highlighted files? Easy. Highlight files (INS, INS, INS, INS), CTRL+M, set dialog to this: destination: Clipboard, Line: $(FileName)$(CRLF), done. Of course you can modify Line: to be whatever you like with handy macros/variables picked from the chevron menu (the right pointing arrow to the right of line textbox).
