This bar gets its name from the function (FN) keys it
represents. For each button on this bar there is a
corresponding function key that performs the same action. This
bar is derived from the design of the first twin-panel file
managers and the FN keys usually act the same way with two
changes: the
F2 key is used to rename files and the
F9 key will open a terminal at the last local
path that the active panel pointed to.
Mkdir F7 (translated name of
mkdir command) can create whole folder trees
on the fly e.g. foo/bar/test
. You can choose to display
or not the
FN keys bar when starting up
Krusader via the Konfigurator Startup page,
and you can toggle its use in the current session with the
Settings menu. The actions and
Key-Bindings performed by the function keys are
configurable since version 1.51, they will remain active with
or without the
FN keys bar displayed.
