Thanks,
but I was expecting something like dual panel (and no "trees", that I don't use at all) and working keyboard shortcuts as F2 - rename, F3 - file preview, F5 - copy/move to other panel etc.

Move between panel with Tab key.

I can't follow you. You can redefine the existing keybindings if you need to (apart from the fact that F2 is already "Rename" and tab already switches between panes) for all of the items you've mentioned...

I'm a hardcore TC user and there was no problem to make XY almost the same in behaviour.
I ressigned several hotkeys and use TC synychronize for sync panes in XY.
The rest are some nice scripts and help from several forum members.

How did you make F5 to copy files?

@Radim:
I don't know how deep the Total Commander keyboard shortcuts are in your 'muscle memory', but in my (personal) opinion the XYplorer UX (user experience) is *much* better than that of TC.
Might be worth your while to get used to a new way of doing things ...


An idea/ suggestion:
There is another file manager (one of the 40+ on my system; don't remember exactly which one) that has an option to switch between Explorer- an TC-mode for keyboard shortcuts. Makes initial swtching to that filemanager easier as you hit the ground running.
