$ # Far: how to use help#
Help screens may have reference items on them that lead to another help
screen. Also, the main page has the "~Help Index~@Index@", which lists all the
topics available in the help file and in some cases helps to find the needed
information faster.
You may use #Tab# and #Shift-Tab# keys to move the cursor from one
reference item to another, then press #Enter# to go to a help screen describing
that item. With the mouse, you may click a reference to go to the help screen
about that item.
If text does not completely fit in the help window, a scroll bar is
displayed. In such case #cursor keys# can be used to scroll text.
You may press #Alt-F1# or #BS# to go back to a previous help screen and
#Shift-F1# to view the help contents.
Press #Shift-F2# for ~plugins~@Plugins@ help.
Press #F7# to search for text in the current help file. Search results
will be displayed as links to relevant topics.
#Help# is shown by default in a reduced windows, you can maximize it by
pressing #F5# "#Zoom#", pressing #F5# again will restore the window to the
previous size.

@CmdLine
$ # Far: command line switches#
The following switches may be used in the command line:
#/a#
Disable display of characters with codes 0 - 31 and 255. May be useful when
executing Far under telnet.
#/ag#
Disable display of pseudo-graphic characters.
#/e[<line>[:<pos>]] <filename>#
Edit the specified file. After /e you may optionally specify editor start line
and line position.
For example: far /e70:2 readme.
#/p[<path>]#
Search for "main" plugins in the folder given in <path>.
Several search paths may be given separated by ';'.
Example: #far /p%USERPROFILE%\\Far\\Plugins#
#/co#
Forces Far to load plugins from cache only. Plugins are loaded faster this way,
but new or changed plugins are not discovered. Should be used ONLY with a stable
list of plugins. After adding, replacing or deleting a plugin Far should be loaded
without this switch. If the cache is empty, no plugins will be loaded.
Remarks about switches /p and /co:
- ^<wrap>if /p is empty, then Far will be loaded with no plugins;
- ^<wrap>if /p is given with a <path>, then only plugins from <path> will be loaded;
- ^<wrap>if only the /co switch is given and plugins cache is not empty, then plugins
will be loaded from cache;
- ^<wrap>/co is ignored, if /p is given;
- ^<wrap>if /p and /co are not given, then plugins will be loaded from the 'Plugins'
folder, which is in the same folder as Far.exe, and the 'Plugins' folder, which is in the
user profile folder (#%APPDATA%\\Far Manager\\Profile# by default).
#/m#
Far will not load macros when started.
#/ma#
Macros with the "Run after Far start" option set will not be run when Far is started.
#/s <profilepath> [<localprofilepath>]#
Custom location for Far configuration files - overrides Far.exe.ini.
#/u <username>#
Allows to have separate registry settings for different users.
Affects only 1.x Far Manager plugins
For example: far /u guest
Far Manager will set the ~environment variable~@FAREnv@ "FARUSER" to the value <username>.
#/v <filename>#
View the specified file. If <filename> is `#-#', data is read from the stdin.
For example, "dir|far /v -" will view dir command output.
If the input stream is empty when using '-' (for example, you have not specified
the "dir" command in the provided example), Far will wait for the end of data
in the input stream until you press Ctrl-Break.
#/w[-]#
Stretch to console window instead of console buffer or vice versa.
#/t templateprofile#
Location of Far template configuration file - overrides Far.exe.ini.
#/clearcache [profilepath [localprofilepath]]#
Clear plugins cache.
#/export <out.farconfig> [profilepath [localprofilepath]]#
Export settings to file out.farconfig.
#/import <in.farconfig> [profilepath [localprofilepath]]#
Import settings from file in.farconfig.
#/ro#
Let's you work without writing any changes to Far configuration.
Overrides Far.exe.ini.
#/ro-#
Normal (Read-Write) mode of Far configuration - overrides Far.exe.ini.
It is possible to specify at most two paths (to folders, files or archives) or
two commands with plugin prefix in the command line. The first path applies to the
active panel, the second path - to the passive one:
- ^<wrap>if a folder or archive is specified, Far will show its contents;
- ^<wrap>if a file is specified, Far will change to the folder where it
resides and place the cursor on the file, if it exists;
- ^<wrap>when prefixes specified (simultaneous use with common paths allowed)
passive command executes first (passive panel activates temporary).
Single letter prefixes A-Z or conflicted with disk letter will be ignored.
Example: far arc:c:\\Far20.7z "lua:msgbox('Far Manager','Successfully started')"

@PanelCmdSort
$ #Sort modes#
The sort modes menu is called by #Ctrl-F12# and applies to the currently
active panel. The following sort modes are available:
Sort files by name #Ctrl-F3#
Sort files by extension #Ctrl-F4#
Sort files by last write time #Ctrl-F5#
Sort files by size #Ctrl-F6#
Keep files unsorted #Ctrl-F7#
Sort files by creation time #Ctrl-F8#

Sort files by description #Ctrl-F10#
Sort files by file owner #Ctrl-F11#
The #+# key sets the sorting order to be direct.
The #-# key sets the sorting order to be reversed.
The #*# key changes the sorting order to be reversed.
Use group sorting #Shift-F11#
Show selected files first #Shift-F12#
Use numeric sort
Use case sensitive sort.
#Remarks on the numeric sort#
The sorting algorithm which is used by the operating system to sort file
lists was changed in Windows XP. A numeric, not a string sort is used. Far also
allows to use a numeric sort as in Windows XP - leading zeros in a file name
are ignored. The following example shows how the files are sorted:
Numeric sort (Windows XP) String sort (Windows 2000)
Ie4_01 Ie4_01
Ie4_128 Ie4_128
Ie5 Ie401sp2
Ie6 Ie5
Ie401sp2 Ie501sp2

@FastFind
$ #Fast find in panels#
To locate a file quickly, you can use the #fast find# operation and enter
the starting characters of the file name. In order to use that, hold down the
#Alt# (or #Alt-Shift#) keys and start typing the name of the needed file, until
the cursor is positioned to it.
By pressing #Ctrl-Enter#, you can cycle through the files matching the part
of the filename that you have already entered. #Ctrl-Shift-Enter# allows to
cycle backwards.
Besides the filename characters, you can also use the wildcard characters
'*' and '?'.
Insertion of text, pasted from clipboard (#Ctrl-V# or #Shift-Ins#), to the
fast find dialog will continue as long as there is a match found.
It is possible to use the transliteration function while entering text in
the search field. If used the entered text will be transliterated and a new
match corresponding to the new text will be searched. See ~XLat.Flags~@XLat.Flags@ on how
to set the hotkey for the transliteration.

$ #Deleting and wiping files and folders#
The following hotkeys are used to delete or wipe out files and folders:
#F8# - if any files or folders are selected in the panel
then the selected group will be deleted, otherwise
the object currently under cursor will be deleted;
#Shift-F8# - delete only the file under cursor
(with no regard to selection in the panel);
#Shift-Del# - delete selected objects, skipping the Recycle Bin;
#Alt-Del# - Wipe out files and folders.
Remarks:
1. ^<wrap>In accordance to ~System Settings~@SystemSettings@ the hotkeys #F8# and
#Shift-F8# do or do not move the deleted files to the Recycle Bin. The
#Shift-Del# hotkey always deletes, skipping the Recycle Bin.
2. ^<wrap>Before file deletion its data is overwritten with zeroes (you can
specify other overwrite characters - see ~System.WipeSymbol~@System.WipeSymbol@), after which the file
is truncated to a zero sized file, renamed to a temporary name and then
deleted.
@ErrCannotExecute
$ #Error: Cannot execute#
The program you tries to execute is not recognized as an internal or
external command, operable program or batch file.
When executing the contents of the command line, Far searches for the
executable in the following sequence (sequentially substituting all extensions
listed in the environment variable %PATHEXT%):
1. The current directory
2. The directories that are listed in the PATH environment variable
3. The 32-bit Windows system directory.
4. The 16-bit Windows system directory.
5. The Windows directory.

#Dialogs#
History in dialog edit controls #Ctrl-Up, Ctrl-Down#
In dialog edit control history you may use #Enter# to copy the current item
to the edit control and #Ins# to mark or unmark an item. Marked items are not
pushed out of history by new items, so you may mark frequently used strings so
that you will always have them in the history.
Clear history in dialog edit controls #Del#
Delete the current item in a dialog edit line history
list (if it is not locked) #Shift-Del#
Set the dialog focus to the default element #PgDn#
The following combinations are valid for all edit controls except the
command line, including dialogs and the ~internal editor~@Editor@.
Insert a file name under cursor to dialog #Shift-Enter#
Insert a file name from passive panel to dialog #Ctrl-Shift-Enter#
Pressing #Ctrl-Enter# in dialogs executes the default action (pushes the
default button or does another similar thing).
In dialogs, when the current control is a check box:
- turn on (#[x]#) #Gray +#
- turn off (#[ ]#) #Gray -#
- change to undefined (#[?]#) #Gray *#
(for three-state checkboxes)
#Left clicking# outside the dialog works the same as pressing #Esc#.
#Right clicking# outside the dialog works the same as pressing #Enter#.
You can move a dialog (window) by dragging it with mouse or by pressing
#Ctrl-F5# and using #arrow# keys.
#Mouse#
Clicking the #middle mouse button# in the ~panels~@PanelCmd@ has the same
effect as pressing the #Enter# key with the same modifiers (#Ctrl#, #Alt#,
#Shift#). If the ~command line~@CmdLineCmd@ is not empty, its contents will be
executed.
Far Manager also supports the ~mouse wheel~@MsWheel@.
@MsWheel
$ #Mouse: wheel support#
#Panels# Rotating the wheel scrolls the file list without
changing the cursor position on the screen. Pressing
the #middle button# has the same effect as pressing
#Enter#.
#Editor# Rotating the wheel scrolls the text without changing
the cursor position on the screen (similar to #Ctrl-Up#/
#Ctrl-Down#).
#Viewer# Rotating the wheel scrolls the text.
#Help# Rotating the wheel scrolls the text.
#Menus# Wheel scrolling works as #Up#/#Down# keys.
Pressing the #middle button# has the same effect as
pressing #Enter#. It is possible to choose items without
moving the cursor.
#Dialogs# In dialogs, when the wheel is rotated at an edit line
with a history list or a combo box, the drop-down list
is opened. In the drop-down list scrolling works the
same as in menus.
You can specify the number of lines to scroll at a time in the panels,
editor and viewer (see ~System.MsWheelDelta~@System.MsWheelDelta@).
@Plugins
$ #Plugins support#
Plugins may be used to implement new Far commands and emulate file systems.
For example, archives support, FTP client, temporary panel and network browser
are plugins that emulate file systems.
All plugins are stored in separate folders within the 'Plugins' folder,
which is in the same folder as Far.exe, and the 'Plugins' folder, which is in the
user profile folder (#%APPDATA%\\Far Manager\\Profile# by default).
When detecting a new plugin Far saves information about it and later loads the
plugin only when necessary, so unused plugins do not require additional memory.
But if you are sure that some plugins are useless for you, you may remove them
to save disk space.
Plugins may be called either from ~Change drive menu~@DriveDlg@ or from
#Plugin commands# menu, activated by #F11# or by corresponding item of
~Commands menu~@CmdMenu@. #F4# in ~"Plugin commands"~@PluginCommands@ menu allows to assign hot
keys to menu items (this makes easier to call them from ~keyboard macros~@KeyMacro@).
This menu is accessible from file panels, dialogs and (only by #F11#) from the
internal viewer and editor. Only specially designed plugins will be shown when
calling the menu from dialogs, the viewer or the editor.
You may set plugin parameters using ~Plugin configuration~@PluginsConfig@
command from ~Options menu~@OptMenu@.
File processing operations like copy, move, delete, edit or ~Find file~@FindFile@
work with plugins, which emulate file systems, if these plugins provide
necessary functionality. Search from the current folder in the "Find file"
command requires less functionality than search from the root folder, so try to
use it if search from the root folder does not work correctly.
Plugins have their own message and help files. You can get a list of
available help on the plugins by pressing
#Shift-F2# - anywhere in the Far help system
#Shift-F1# - in the list of plugins (context-dependent help).
If the plugin has no help file, then context-dependent help will not pop
out.
If the active panel shows a plugin emulated file system, the command "CD"
in the command line may be used to change the plugin file system folder. Unlike
"CD", "CHDIR" command always treats the specified parameter as a real folder
name regardless a file panel type.
Use #Alt-Shift-F9# to ~configure plugins~@PluginsConfig@.
@PluginCommands
$ #Plugin commands#
This menu provides user with ability to use plugins functionality (other
ways are listed in ~"Plugins support"~@Plugins@).
The contents of the menu and actions triggered on menu items selection are
controlled by plugins.
The menu can be invoked in the following ways:
- #F11# at file panels or #Plugins# item at ~commands menu~@CmdMenu@, herewith
the commands intended for use from file panels are shown;
- #F11# in viewer or editor, herewith the commands intended for use from
viewer and editor accordingly are shown.
Each item of plugin commands menu can be assigned a hotkey with #F4#, this
possibility is widely used in ~key macros~@KeyMacro@. The assigned hotkey is
displayed left to the item. The #A# symbol in leftmost menu column means that
the corresponding plugin is written for Far 1.7x and it does not support all
possibilities available in Far 3 (these are, in particular, Unicode characters
in filenames and in editor).
#Plugin commands# menu hotkeys:
#Shift-F1# - help on use for selected menu item. The text of the help
is taken from HLF file, associated with the plugin
that owns the menu item.
#F4# - assign a hotkey for selected menu item. If #Space# is
entered, then Far sets the hotkey automatically.
#F3# - show plugin technical information.
#Shift-F9# - settings of the selected plugin.
#Alt-Shift-F9# - open ~"Plugins configuration"~@PluginsConfig@ menu.
See also:
~Plugins support~@Plugins@.
Common ~menu~@MenuCmd@ keyboard commands.
@PluginsConfig
$ #Plugins configuration#
You can configure the installed ~plugins~@Plugins@ using the command
#"Plugins configuration"# from the ~Options menu~@OptMenu@ or by pressing
#Alt-Shift-F9# in the ~drive selection menu~@DriveDlg@ or plugins menu.
To get the help on the currently selected plugin, press #Shift-F1# -
context-sensitive help on plugin configuration. If the plugin doesn't have a
help file, the context-sensitive help will not be shown.
When the context-sensitive help is invoked, Far will try to show the topic
#Config#. If such a topic does not exist in the plugin help file, the main help
topic for the selected plugin will be shown.
Each item of plugins configuration menu can be assigned a hotkey with #F4#,
this possibility is widely used in ~key macros~@KeyMacro@. The assigned hotkey is
displayed left to the item. The #A# symbol in leftmost menu column means that
the corresponding plugin is written for Far 1.7x and it does not support all

$ #Overview of plugin capabilities#
Far Manager is so tightly integrated with its plugins that it is simply
meaningless to talk about Far and not to mention the plugins. Plugins present
an almost limitless expansion of the features of Far.
Without going into details, some of the capabilities can be noted:
* Syntax highlighting in program source texts.
* Working with FTP-servers (including access through proxy).
* Search and replace in many files at the same time, using regular
expressions.
* Renaming groups of files with support for complex compound masks
consisting of substitution symbols and templates.
* NNTP/SMTP/POP3/IMAP4 clients and sending messages to a pager.
* Working with non-standard text screen resolutions.
* Conversion of texts from one national code page to another.
* Manipulating the contents of the Recycle Bin.
* Process priority control on local or network PC.
