After fiddling with this a little more I found out that in fact the drives menu that shows up using Alt+F1/F2 depends on the icon in the address bar.
If the user unchecks "Show drive button in address bar", the keyboard shortcuts do not work.
But for this to be proven, FC has to be closed after ...

I started FC with default settings and the left and right status bars display exactly the same information.
But this was expected.

But unfortunately that does not answer my questions.

I was playing with the status bar, trying to understand how it works, the configuration of the variables.

I read the page here https://freecommander.com/fchelpxe/en/Definedetails.html , but it is still not clear to me, maybe I missed something?

In the screenshot below, I have both panels in List ...

Thanks, I know about the workaround, it is an obvious one.
I was just pointing out that it is not normal to have the same key conbination for different functions.

Suggestion
Ctrl + Shift + F - opens the favorites editor window
Ctrl + Alt + F - could open the favorites panel, replacing the confusing ...

There is still something wrong... Alt+F1/F2 don't work again.
It's not the fact that they are assigned to something else in the system, they are not.
Tested in Double Commander and in Multi Commmander, they work perfectly every time.
Looks like a bug in FC.

Hello!

Having some troubles in the past with this plugin, like always throwing an error here and there and generally not working, I took a closer look to understand it better in order to make it work for me. This plugin is badly written and unmaintained at the moment, but will have to do, since FC ...

Using build 921, public, x32.

Alt + F should be assigned by default to open the File menu, since letter F is underlined.
But when user presses Alt + F, Favorites panel opens to the left of the window.

Shouldn't these two use diffeent keyboard shortcuts?

Using build 921.
When selecting files, FC does not draw the bottom line of the rectangle.

My settings:
- panel in List mode
- NC-mode (sticky selection) with "Draw border" checked
- font Tahoma, bold, 10 (or Segoe UI, it's the same problem)

The default shortcuts are Alt+F1, Alt+F2

Ahh, Alt+F1! I knew that, I don't know why I wrote Ctrl, LOL

The popup menu is showed always

You're right, it works. Hm... I don't now what happened earlier, but it didn't. As soon as I checked the option, it started to appear again. Thanks!

There is an option in Tools - Settings - Drives that is called "Show drive button in address bar" that shows the drives menu, the one displayed with keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + F1/F2. If the option is not checked, the well-known keyboard shortcut does not work.

The option:

921 build was released to fix only this problem! Thanks!

Regarding the screenshots, read this topic, please

I opened the link and I read it, thanks.

Hello!

Using FreeCommander XE 2025 Build 920 32-bit public.
Language is English, I deleted the other languages from their directory.
However, the key combinations are in German I think.

I don't know how to attch an image in this forum. Dragging does not work as in ...

Indeed, Build 901 corrected this. Thanks!

The controls inside the window do not adapt to window size change.

There is no such standard.
If you disable all elements which display drives, there maybe no context entries shown for them.


I agree, but I didn't say anything about standards. I was talking and thinking about familiarity and functionality, which is nice to have.

Also, as it can be seen in the ...
