Autosize cols, tab colours, row highlight, file selection, empty panel, favs key

• I have changed the Fonts->Filelist to Courier 12. Despite “Autosize columns“ is set, now the extension column doesn’t fit and shows only the first letter of the extension. I have always to adjust it manually with the mouse. How can I fix this?
• With my theme, panel tabs are all very similar in colour. So it is difficult to understand which tab is the selected one. How can I change the colour of the tabs?
• Is it possible to highlight the selected file? Currently only the name colour changes (foreground colour), basically I’d like to change the background colour of selected file for better visibility.
• To select multiple consecutive file now I use space-arrow. Is it possible to make the space both select and step ahead one row?
• If a panel is empty of tabs, Ctrl-T doesn’t work, that is doesn’t open any new tab. Also typing a path in the command bar doesn’t. I can only double click the empty panel to open a new tab.  Is this the intended behaviour or a bug?
• I am trying to change the "favourites" shortcut to something different from Alt-Back. I type the new key in keyboard customisation dialogue, I click Assign (no conflicts), I click save. Everything’s is ok for the session. But upon restart it switches back to the old Alt-Back sequence.
• How can I assign a shortcut to File search?

Congratulations for your good work.

• Right click on column header and select set current layout as default. or go into column customization and change the with of the column.
• Tab color can not be change at the moment.
• In color customization make sure that "use file(folder) specified background colors" is set. Then the background color for every item can be overwritten
• Like what the "insert" key does ? There is a "Toggle selection and move to next item" command. try assign space to that.
• Ctrl+T is duplicate tab and if there is no tab to duplicate., It can not duplicate it. There is a command under Explorer Panel called "New - Explorer Panel". Assign a key to that and it add it for you
• Dependsy. Some key combination does not work so good in some places because of technical issues.
• Ctrl+F7 (for command styled setup) or you can change it. Or you can also use script to preload the search with options and filters.

many many thanks.

As for Alt-backspace for favourites, I tried several alternatives.
Everything works, but until restart, this is also with function keys.
When Multicommander restarts it is like if the information were lost.

Yes. as I said. some keys can not be changed because of technical reasons. A workaround is to create a new command and from that command call the old internal command. And the map the new command to the key you want.
