Description Mikhail 2024-06-09 04:24:59 UTC

What you should get:
Add an item setting in selection mode to enable moving the blue selection with the up and down arrows.
With the selection item enabled to move the selection with the arrows, the blue selection is moved.
This is very convenient when using only the keyboard, and not only in this case.
PS. This is the same selection that happens when you select with the left mouse button or Shift/Ctrl + left mouse. Not the selection that is dotted style!

I don't understand. You can use SHIFT+Up/Down keys to change the (blue) selection.

This is not what me need. In Total Commander it is implemented as it should be.

I don't know about Total Commander but in Double Commander the behavior is the same as in Krusader - it only looks different.

Maybe having CTRL+Up/Down could change the (blue) selection to the current (dotted) cursor selection, so that only one item is  (blue) selected. That would be a valid improvement in my opinion.
