Keyboard shortcuts
Use shortcuts to get around Tosca quicker and easier. Keep these things in mind:
-
Keyboard shortcuts apply to the currently active window.
-
Keyboard navigation skips inactive icons or elements.
To view a list of shortcuts directly in Tosca Commander, select F1. Then select Keyboard shortcuts from the context menu.
