How to type star (*) into command line in Far Manager?












3














I'm typing into command line in Far Manager and need * character there. But when I press * key Far Manager executes associated command which is "select all" in active panel.



For example, I'm creating backups like this:



copy C:*.txt C:*.bak





windows far-manager

Press Ctrl+O to toggle panels (hide in your case) and type whatever you want in command-line.

LAlt + 42


This shortcut is for * character in Windows environment. It differs from pressing actual key on numeric keyboard because OS does not interpret it as key press I guess. Thus Far Manager does not take it as command and types * into command line as wanted.

The * character can also be typed by keys in the alphanumeric part of most keyboard layouts, in which case it is not treated as a command either.



For instance, in the US layout it can be found on the 8 key, meaning you can type it as Shift+8 – an even shorter cut, if you ask me.

    True but I do not use US layout and * is not located there. I found shortcut for my layout RAlt + / but did not mention it as shortcut above is layout-universal (at least for Windows) thus better solution in my opinion.

You need a macro.
Here is ready-to-use one: AddonsMacrosPanel.Numpad.lua



Purpose:




  • if command line if empty it * acts as 'select all'

  • if command line is not empty * enters * symbol
