Help: Keyboard Shortcuts

Keyboard Shortcuts

Take Command offers a number of keyboard shortcuts to change windows or select entries in the Folders and List View windows. If you are in a tab window, you need to set the Left Alt Key or Right Alt Key and Left Ctrl Key or Right Ctrl Key options in the Take Command tab options dialog. (Otherwise the keystroke will be sent to the console application rather than being interpreted by Take Command.)
