DESCRIPTION

xftree is the File Manager of XFce, the Cholesterol Free
Desktop Environment.

QUICK REFERENCE

Starting xftree will use the home directory as the default root directory if no directory is specified.

Right mouse button: pops up a context menu (which depends
on selected items).

Left mouse button: select an item; [SHIFT] allow selection
of multiple items and [CTRL] will add/remove items to the
selection.

Middle mouse button: useful for drag and drop, as the
selection will not be changed.

DoubleClick: start the selected application or if the item
is a regular file, start the registered program and pass
the file name as argument.

Alt+DoubleClick: same as above but start in a terminal
program. If the item is a directory, change the root of
the tree to that directory.

Drag and Drop: By default, drag and drop copy the items.
If [SHIFT] is pressed during drag, items are moved instead
of copied. The same way, holding [CTRL+SHIFT] during
drag'n drop will link the items. Drag and drop of URL is
allowed, e.g. from mozilla. The corresponding file will be
downloaded.
