New Tab

Ctrl + T

This function creates a new tab in the files pane. The tab is always created:

• as the last tab (far right) - default, or
• next to (right of) the current tab

depending on the setting in Options.. (Tabs). The contents default to the current setting for same - see Default new tab folder option. The new tab automatically receives the focus (ie. becomes the active tab).

• using the middle mouse button while hovering over

  • a folder in either the treeview or files pane
