g-c 1.8.1 on CentOS 7.4 with the Mate desktop
I just called up g-c and needed to look for a hidden .filename file.
Should be simple - View; [ X] Show Hidden files. Except... the File;
Edit; Mark; View... bar was GONE!
I tried F10 (which allow me to change displayed bars in Firefox) nothing
I poked around the top of g-c with the mouse to see if I could launch
something - no
I renamed my ~/.gnome-commander file and launched g-c. A new directory
was created, no menu bar
I reinstalled g-c - no change
I uninstalled and reinstalled g-c - no change
I rebooted the computer :-(( - no change
I launched g-c and began beating on the F keys. F1 launched help (which
I looked at but not completely), then F2 etc. After F7 which launched
the "create a directory" dialog the keys did not seem to do anything (or
I fell asleep). When I finally LOOKED at g-c I observed that my menu bar
was back :-)
A bit more testing showed that F12 is the offending (or magic) key. And
yes, it is described in the help/g-c Manual.
I wanted to pass along a couple of items...
If you flail at the keyboard as I do - and you accidentally hit F12 -
you will loose your File; Edit; ... menu (but F12 will bring it back.
More importantly ... consider looking in the manual at the range of
keyboard shortcuts which are available in g-c. WOW! I am amazed. And I
will be doing some studying.
