Keyboard shortcuts
On this page ▾
All the evoftp keyboard shortcuts are listed below. There are not many: the app is built for the mouse, and the keys cover the things you do most often — download, upload, refresh and move around a folder list. On Windows and Linux the modifier is Ctrl; on macOS it is ⌘.
Overview: evoftp guide.
Transfer and window shortcuts
These work anywhere in the window, whichever pane has focus.
| Keys | Action |
|---|---|
| Ctrl / ⌘ + D | Download the files and folders selected in the seedbox pane |
| Ctrl / ⌘ + U | Upload the files and folders selected in the local pane |
| Ctrl / ⌘ + R | Refresh the pane that has focus |
| Esc | Close any open dialog (settings, connect, rename, update) |
Moving around a file list
Click once inside a pane so it has focus, then:
| Keys | Action |
|---|---|
| ↑ / ↓ | Move the selection one row up or down; hold Shift to extend it |
| Enter | Open the selected folder; on a file, download it (seedbox pane) or open it with the OS (local pane) |
| Backspace | Go up one folder |
| Delete | Delete the selection — evoftp asks first |
| Ctrl / ⌘ + A | Select everything in the pane |
Selecting with the mouse
- Click — select one item and drop the rest of the selection.
- Ctrl-click (⌘-click on macOS) — add an item to the selection, or remove one that is already selected.
- Shift-click — select every row between the last item you clicked and this one.
Double-click
- A folder in either pane opens it.
- A file in the seedbox pane starts downloading it into the folder shown on the left.
- A file in the local pane opens it with whatever your OS uses for that file type.
- A server in the sidebar needs only a single click to connect.
Note: the shortcuts cannot be changed, and there is no shortcut for New folder or Rename — use the toolbar or the right-click menu.
