Use the following keys to navigate through files and folders in your Koofr:
| Key combination | What it does |

| ⬆️ up arrow | Move one item up |
| ⬅️ left arrow | Move one item to the left - only in tile view |
| ➡️ right arrow | Move one item to the right - only in tile view |
| enter alt + ⬇️ down cmd + ⬇️ down |
Open file or folder |
| alt + ⬆️ up cmd + ⬆️ up |
Open parent folder |
Selecting things:
To select or deselect multiple files or folders, use the following key combinations:
| Key combination | What it does |
|---|---|
| shift + ⬇️ down | Add item below to selection (if not yet selected) or remove current item from selection (if item below already selected) |
| shift + ⬆️ up | Add item above to selection (if not yet selected) or remove current item from selection (if item above already selected) |

| ctrl + a cmd + a |
Select all |

File and folder operations
You can use keyboard shortcuts to perform all basic file operations like copy, paste, create new, and rename. For additional file options, the right-click context menu can also be accessed via the keyboard. Koofr uses generally established key combinations as listed below:
| Key combination | What it does |
|---|---|
| shift + n | Create new folder |
| f2 | Rename selected file or folder |
| delete cmd + backspace |
Delete current selection (files / folders) |
| ctrl + c cmd + c |
Copy selected files or folders |
| ctrl + x cmd + x |
Cut selected files or folders |
| ctrl + v cmd + v |
Paste selected files or folders (from previous copy or cut) |
| cmd + option + v | Paste selected files (move) |
| shift + m shift + f10 |
Open (right-click) context menu for selected files or folders |
| shift + d | Download selected files or folders |
To enable the copy, cut, and paste operations, you'll need to Allow the browser app to access the system clipboard the first time you use this feature. Note that you can copy and paste between tabs and windows of the same browser. Copy and paste will not work between different browsers for security reasons.
