Description
Since the dawn of time our ancestors have taken joy in transferring files. Ever since the first sparks kindled flames at our command have we rejoiced in sending data from one computer to another.
And in those early days there was one truth. One unifying concept. One voice sung by all the file transfer programs that sprang out of the everlasting aether.
F5. Yes, the lowly, but almighty F5 key.
TablacusExplorer, press F5 to copy.
Total Commander, press F5 to copy.
Midnight Commander, press F5 to copy.
Norton Commander, press F5 to copy.
Free Commander, press F5 to copy.
Double Commander, press F5 to copy.
TFTP, press F5 to copy.
WinSCP, press F5 to copy.
And lo', onto FileZilla we pitch into the void, pressing F5, trying to make the machine spring to life, to do our biddings, but, alas, the time honoured key has no meaning. As though the past has long since been forgotten. We thrash in the solipsistic moment and endure, as we have, the slower, crude, even vulgar use of: move mouse ... right-click ... download. For the F5 has been forsaken.
Feature request: How about letting users assign hot keys to functionality? Or perhaps wire up F5 to copy selected files?
