Move/Copy To Other Pane -> KS

[admin]

I'd like to define a default KS for each of these two commands. Any idea what would be the standard KS for those in the DP world?

F5 Copy
F6 Move

F5 Copy
F6 Move

That's what x2 uses as I recall...but of course in x2 that causes a pop-up with a choice of destinations and the other pane being the default.

F6 Move

Thanks. That's not an option for XY, of course, since F5 and F6 have standard meanings in Windows since Win95 I think.

Since SHIFT means Move and CTRL means Copy in many contexts, what about these:
Shift+F6 : Move to Other Pane
Ctrl+F6 : Copy to Other Pane

Shift+F6 is currently: Miscellaneous / Focus Functions / Move Focused Item Into View, so that would have to get a new one.

I looked in the x2 full docs PDF and found that they use "Cntl+" with F5/F6 to bypass pop-up dialog and use other pane as destination, so if you're trying to compete with that product, then using Cntl+F6 as 'Copy to other' would be the opposite of their default/std ('Move to other') and since with x2 lite (which I use), user cannot modify KS, it may be more habit for some...not me, as I didn't even know that "Cntl+" was option until now.

Well, I don't care about this. Searching the web, I cannot make out a clear standard or preferences for the meaning Ctrl+F6 or Shift+F6, apart from the general standard that Ctrl=Copy and Shift=Move.

Within XY, using F6 with Ctrl and Shift would make a lot of sense, I think:

Code: Select all

Shift+F6: Move to Other Pane; Shift+F7: Move To...
Ctrl+F6:  Copy to Other Pane; Ctrl+F7:  Copy To...
