Hotkey to place cursor on the first file

Help & Support

I need a hotkey to do this:


Thanks in advanced!

There's an option for this: > Preferences > File Displays > Options > "Automatically select first file".

Or, if you want to have an explicit button, use

Select First

Select First selects the first item, can also be a folder as shown in the video.

Oh, thanks! I'm switching from Total Commander to Directory Opus... and I'm very new. You'll see me here on the forum quite often asking lots of questions. Thanks again!

Then linking your account might be a good thing.

If you want to see a setup similar to Total Commander, see Source Menu for Directory Opus 13 - #3 by jinsight

That will only deselect filenames that have . in them. Use * as the wildcard instead or, even better, Select NONE.

Or push Ctrl+Home, which is the standard key in Windows to move the focus to the first item without changing the selection (in multi-select controls that support doing that).

Also, for all the variants of Select FIRST, you can also make it react faster by adding MAKEVISIBLE=immediate to the same line/command. Otherwise there's a delay before the new selection is scrolled into view.
