Sometimes I need to do something with file that Far Manager can’t help me with. Good example is changing file permissions. In these cases Windows Explorer context menu comes handy:
If you want context menu in Far Manager you need EMenu plugin. Fortunately, it is included with Far by default. Here’s how to set it up:
- Execute [C:\Program Files\Far\Plugins\EMenu\Hotkey.reg]
- Restart Far Manager
- Open Options menu, then Plugins configuration. Select EMenu in the list.
- Uncheck “Show message after execution”.
Now Menu key should invoke context menu. Nice trick is to select Send To – Mail Recipient to quickly open new email with the file attached.
You can use Ctrl-A to edit file attributes btw
But Emenu is still quite handy
Thank you very much! I didn’t know about this EMenu plugin.
