I have a simple question. How to change the current drive as it can be done in other commander like tools (like Multi Commander, Free Commander with Alt+F1/F2) ? ---

Try this button: ```auto [Alt+F1 and Alt+F2 Drive Access.dcf|attachment](upload://tgoCNs5XF6OvcPCWXyNfZWOvSMe.dcf) (15.1 KB) ``` Hotkeys Alt+F1 and Alt+F2 are set to display a list of available drives. ---

There's a Drives toolbar you can turn on, if you want a button for each drive. (Or a similar thing can be added to existing toolbars from the Customize dialog.) Or, if you want a drop-down for changing drives, drag this from the Customize dialog to your toolbars: ![image](https://resource.dopus.com/uploads/default/original/3X/4/1/41a36a292bf185e389b00710fee56349939ed1e0.png) ---

This is almost what I want. When I assign a shortcut and press the key, I get the list and I can press the key according to the drive that should be changed in the pane. But it only works when selecting the arrow keys. Typing the drive letter does not work. (e.g. Alt+F1 -\> D does not change the drive to D:) ---

You can type D: and push return to go to drive D, if you want to use the keyboard. You can type it directly into the file display (the FAYT field will open) without needing to activate the path field first. ---

I know that, but I want to type Alt+F1 and D to jump to the D drive in the left pane in dual pane mode and the same with Alt+F2 for the right pane, The drive drop-down the list is almost what I want, but it does not change the drive when I type a driver letter. It only works if I click on a drive with the mouse. Is this a bug of the drive drop-down list?
