Keyboard Controls

Set keyboard controls:

  • ForkLift > Preferences > Keyboard

You can choose between 3 basic keyboard behaviors for ForkLift.

  • Finder-style: if you've been with Finder for a while, you will feel right at home
  • Commander-style: if your nerv endings are wired to F5-copy and Co., choose this setting. We've got the F2-F8 buttons, and space will select the highlighted file instead of calling QuickLook, but you may want to tune some shortcuts, as not all TC commands are available



We recommend setting this preference right when you start using ForkLift.
