Seek Files

In normal use, pressing a keyboard character key will cause the window to seek and cursor the first/next filename in the file list with that first character. In large directories with many files, it is often desirable to expand this seek file capability to additional characters. Each window has special Seek File moding to accomplish this. Press Shift | to activate the moding. To activate with the mouse, RMB click on far left end the Last Filters button. An entry window will appear in place of the Last Filter pushbutton.

Seek File

Commence typing the filename desired. As additional characters are entered, the first file match is cursored. With two or three characters, it is generally possible to seek and find the file you are looking for. Any action you take other than entering more characters will cause the mode to exit.
