My next idea was to use some keyboard shortcut to compare Far Manager’s left and right panels. Usually I use Ctrl+F shortcut to insert full path to the selected file in Far Manager. Now I can compare files from Far Manager by typing bc file1.txt file2.txt Note the empty string as the first argument to the start command: it wouldn’t work properly without it since the full path to BComp.exe has double quotes. After some experimentation I settled on creating bc.cmd in C:\Program Files\Far Manager folder: "" "C:\Program Files\Beyond Compare 4\BComp.exe" %* My weapon of choice for file operations is Far Manager so I decided to make launching Beyond Compare fast and painless. I use it most often during software development. Typically they are so deep in the file system that it would be too long to navigate there the normal way:īeyond Compare is an excellent tool for comparing files and folders.
I have folders that I use from time to time assigned to right Ctrl + 0 (zero). In this case Far Manager would show you a menu with all folders when you press that shortcut. You can assign more than folder to a single shortcut. I train myself to delete everything from that folder from time to time.
Usually I put there files and folders that I’m going to upload somewhere. I have right Ctrl + 1 assigned to my temp folder, I gave it 1Temp name so that it’s always on top and also to remind me that it has 1 as shortcut. You can view all your folder shortcuts by pressing F9 to open the top menu, then C to open Commands submenu, then D: Now you can press right Ctrl + 1 to jump to that folder.
