Keyboard shortcuts
------------------

| Shortcut                                       | Function                         |
|------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------|
| <kbd>&#8593;</kbd> <kbd>&#8595;</kbd>          | Navigate search results          |
| <kbd>Return</kbd>                              | Open                             |
| <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Return</kbd>             | Open in Everything               |
| <kbd>Tab</kbd>/<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Tab</kbd> | Select filter                    |
| <kbd>Win</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>S</kbd>     | Focus search box (customizable)  |

Rules
-----

Create custom *open with* commands by selecting <kbd>Rules...</kbd> from settings. By checking <kbd>Automatically apply rules based on condition</kbd> matching files/folders based on the type and regular expression field will execute the corresponding command when opened.

Examples:

| Name                     | Type | Regular Expression           | Command                 |
|--------------------------|------|------------------------------|-------------------------|
| Open terminal here...    | Any  |                              | `cmd /K "cd %path%"`    |
| Total Commander (Left)   | Any  |                              | `totalcmd /O /L=%path%` |
| Total Commander (Right)  | Any  |                              | `totalcmd /O /R=%path%` |
| MSPaint                  | File | `.*\\PixelArt\\.*(bmp\|BMP)` | `mspaint %file%`        |

Leaving the regular expression field empty will never match.

Customization
-------------

- Edit an existing theme/item template or create a new one in the `Themes` / `ItemTemplates` folder
