Use return/enter to copy files

On my previous machine, I was running an older version of WinSCP, and I had it configured so that the return/enter key would initiate a copy.

I have moved my work to a new machine and installed WinSCP 3.7.4, and I haven't found a way to set it up so this works. Instead, return (or double-click) tries to open the file using whichever program is configured to handle that filetype. This is almost never what I want to do.

I tried switching to F5, but that always brings up a confirm dialog.

Can I please have back the ability to copy a file from the local to remote host (or vice versa) with a single keystroke? Preferably "enter"? Is this ability hidden somewhere that I'm not aware of?

In case it's not obvious, I'm using the two-pane "Norton Commander" interface.

Re: Use return/enter to copy files

Thanks. It's located in a different spot in WinSCP 3.7.4 – the "Environment" tab, but I found it and now have the behavior I want.

Not works for directory

Hi!
Long time FileZilla user recently migrated to WinSCP and until now very happy.
My only issue is operation to perform on double-click doesn't work for folders (it opens the folder instead of copy).
Relevant settings:
User interface = Commander
Explorer style selection = Mouse and Keyboard
Keyboard shortcuts = Explorer
Operation to perform on double-click = Copy


It works for selection of:
  • one or multiple files
  • multiple files and folder, where last selected item is a file
It doesn't work for selection of:
  • one or multiple folders
  • multiple files and folder, where last selected item is a folder
In these cases it opens the folder.
