Operations
FilDOS supports the full set of file operations you’d expect from a native file manager:| Action | Keyboard |
|---|---|
| New folder | ⌘ N |
| Rename | ↵ or F2 |
| Copy | ⌘ C |
| Cut | ⌘ X |
| Paste | ⌘ V |
| Duplicate | ⌘ D |
| Trash | ⌘ ⌫ |
| Undo | ⌘ Z |
Undo
Every mutation — copy, move, rename, duplicate — pushes an inverse operation onto the undo stack.⌘ Z replays it. Delete (trash) is intentionally excluded: recover
deleted files from the OS Trash (Finder / Recycle Bin).
Live updates
The file list subscribes to a non-recursivefs.watch on the current directory.
Changes made by other apps (Terminal, Finder) appear in under a second, debounced
to avoid redundant reloads.
Drag and drop
- Internal (within FilDOS): move by default, hold
⌥/Altto copy. - Drag out to Finder or Explorer: copies the file(s) to the drop target.
- Drag in from Finder or Explorer: moves or copies into the current directory.
