How do I make search for file in Far Manager that is in the current directory of the selected panel? In FreeCommander, this can be done just by typing file's name.

You can do this by holding down the Alt key and typing the file name.

There is also QSearchSwitch plugin. It was just a funny exercise for me, but may be interesting for someone. The idea is to invert the meaning of Alt key. When you type letters in Far command line - QSearch appears. If you want to type in Far CommandLine - press Alt+«letter». After first symbol (when CommandLine is not empty) you may release Alt.

Installation

  • Unpack to %FARHOME%\Plugins\QSearchSwitch folder
  • Restart Far Manager
  • Current version of plugin requires Far 3.x 2798 or lower
