Focusing an Item

A panel can contain any number of items (files and directories). If the list contains any items, one of them is focused. In the active panel, the focused item is highlighted (see Working Area of Panel for details). In the inactive panel, the focused item is not highlighted, but it is highlighted again when the panel becomes active.

You can change the focus in the list of items by choosing another item. You can do this with the mouse or the keyboard. With the mouse, just click the item you want to focus. The keyboard shortcuts are summarized in the following table.

Keyboard shortcuts:
