@Mathias,
Concerning keyboard customization dialog. It can be reduced.

1. For example, "Assigned shortcuts" list is simply duplicates main list info but it consumes a lot of space with only 3 columns. The primary "*" symbol can be printed in the main list.

2. As far as I can see, "Origin" only has two possible values - "Custom" and "Default". So this column can be removed, and default hotkey can instead be printed bold in the main list. It is also actual because of an issue: if you add a secondary shortcut to the default one, the Origin becomes "Custom" for both.

3. "Conflicts" memo only shows conflicts when I try to assign a conflicting shortcut. But if I actually do it, then they will not be shown if I later select this shortcut in the main list. So the conflicts can be shown as a warning icon in the main list, and the full list of conflicts -- in the separate dialog.

4. Changing a shortcut can be moved to a separate dialog.

1. ? What issue do you get,, I find no issue with right click on column header and select customize columns .. "just opens standard Right-click menu"  You mean the shell context menu ?
2.  I run it in dark mode all the time.. even more dialog support darkmode then before. how do you switch. what is happening ? any error in app log ?
4. Yes dialog is large. Hmm need to present lots of information in that dialog. I see if I can squeeze it a bit..

Issue #2:
Resolved by selecting "Commander Dark Mode" in the "Quick Look & Feel" dialog. The theme now applies correctly. Reminder: ensure to select "Commander Dark Mode" as the color theme on first-time startup to avoid issues. :D

Issue #1:
The right-click context menu for the File Column Header does not appear (see attached screenshots). This appears to be the only bug; other issues are cosmetic. Additionally, in v17, the "Customize Columns" menu and other special menu items fail to launch. This needs to be addressed.

Issue #4:
The dialog height fits the full screen, but a slightly reduced height might enable clicking the "Save" button more reliably. When clicking the Close (X) button, it prompts to save changes; selecting "Yes" appears to work. However, the "Up Arrow" shortcut is not assigned to the "Parent Folder" action, which is inconsistent. I believe adjusting the dialog height could resolve this. Width is acceptable.

(4) The "Keyboard Shortcut Customization" dialog box is a little too big for my screen (the height (1366x768)), I suspect it's not showing the "Save" button, but if there is no such button, then this is Okay. I was unable to change the shortcut of "Parent Folder (Go Up)" from "Back" to "Alt+Up Arrowkey".

I was able to bind "Parent folder (Go Up)" to Alt+Up, but maybe you failed because you was not able to press "save" button

It the problem with the dialog the height ? or is it also the width ?

I found some bugs in V17:
(1) Cannot right click the File Column Header to select "Customize Columns" (plus rest of the custom options for this right-click menu don't trigger (just opens standard Right-click menu)). Maybe this isn't implemented yet ?
(2) Selecting "Dark Color Theme" doesn't work (so no dark skinned Aliases/ UDC/ Settings or Toolbar) for me (I selected Explorer Look & Feel maybe that's why) —works on my V16.2 though.
(3) I tried making a Filter Rule to highlight a Folder in Red background color, the same as I do in V16.2, but it didn't display it, the Color Filter Rule (made both a Filter Rule and Color Rules Editor entry.) "Full Filename 'Is' Logs (File Matching), Standard-Path 'Is' C:\Users\dell\Downloads\Logs (Plugin Extended Properties)" Oops Color Filters is indeed working, sorry —made a mistake in entering the correct path !
(4) The "Keyboard Shortcut Customization" dialog box is a little too big for my screen (the height (1366x768)), I suspect it's not showing the "Save" button, but if there is no such button, then this is Okay. I was unable to change the shortcut of "Parent Folder (Go Up)" from "Back" to "Alt+Up Arrowkey".

Tested on Win 10.

V17 Bug Report

(1) Right-clicking the File Column Header does not open the "Customize Columns" context menu, nor do other options in this menu trigger; only the default right-click menu appears. Possibly not implemented yet?

(2) The "Dark Color Theme" option has no effect; aliases, UDC, settings, and toolbar remain in light mode. I selected "Explorer Look & Feel" — this was working as expected in V16.2.

(3) Created a filter rule to highlight folders with a red background (similar to V16.2). Initially, rule did not display correctly. After verifying, color filters are functioning properly—my earlier issue was due to an incorrect path entry ("C:\Users\dell\Downloads\Logs"). Correct path works as intended.

(4) The "Keyboard Shortcut Customization" dialog is too large (height-wise) for my 1366x768 display, likely hiding the "Save" button. If no "Save" button exists, this is acceptable. Additionally, I couldn't assign "Alt+Up Arrow" to the "Parent Folder (Go Up)" shortcut, which is expected since the current shortcut is "Back."

Tested on Win 10.

You should not need to exit for the settings to save.. it should save directly when the settings is change.
   Correct. The settings do save directly when settings is changed.

That what I trying to understand if it save it or not then.
   Yes. They did save.

When exit.. it also save if needed.
  This too works. When I exit, Multi Commander minimizes.

When MC is in tray and you exit. MC is normally not closed, just minimized. so no save is done then
   When I click the 'X' in Multi Commander; MC minimizes [as expected]; and MC is in the system tray and when I right-click the MC icon [see screenshot], I select 'Close Multi Commander'; MC flashes on the screen and closes [as expected], but the settings seem to reset then.

I can't replicate any issue.. it work even if I exit from the tray if it is active.

So when you change the settings.. did it save it first and then cleared it one exit  ?
  YES. You must exit via the system tray icon.

Or did it not save it at all when you pressed apply (or clicked on the toolbar to toggle it)
 It did save when I pressed apply or clicked on the toolbar to toggle it, but the problem here is the file explorer pane always shows the hidden system files and folders. See screenshot.

Thank you for your reply. I re-tested what I reported originally and was able to re-create the problem. See screenshot.

I only had one instance of Multi Commander open. When open, it appears the problem happens when I exit Multi Commander then close Multi Commander from the system tray. It does work correctly if you only exit Multi Commander and NOT close Multi Commander in the system tray.

Please advise.

Thank you.
