I'm typing into command line in Far Manager and need *
character there. But when I press * key Far Manager executes associated command which is "select all" in active panel.
For example, I'm creating backups like this:
copy C:\*.txt C:\*.bak

Press Ctrl+O to toggle panels (hide in your case) and type whatever you want in command-line.
LAlt + 42
This shortcut is for *
character in Windows environment. It differs from pressing actual key on numeric keyboard because OS does not interpret it as key press I guess. Thus Far Manager does not take it as command and types *
into command line as wanted.
The *
character can also be typed by keys in the alphanumeric part of most keyboard layouts, in which case it is not treated as a command either.
For instance, in the US layout it can be found on the 8 key, meaning you can type it as Shift+8 – an even shorter cut, if you ask me.
*
is not located there. I found shortcut for my layout RAlt + /
but did not mention it as shortcut above is layout-universal (at least for Windows) thus better solution in my opinion.
You need a macro.
Here is ready-to-use one: Addons\Macros\Panel.Numpad.lua
