Proxy Icon

The icons in the header of each window serve more than just decorative purpose. They can be manipulated just like any file in a folder, allowing you to move, rename, and delete files in-place. This is a concept borrowed from MacOS -- the icon is a proxy for the actual file.

Actions on proxies

• Double-click the proxy to open the file with the default application.

• Right-click the proxy (or press F10) to display a context menu

  

• Choose Rename in this context menu (or press Shift+F2) to edit the file name in-place

  

• Choose Delete in this context menu (or press Ctrl+Shift+D) to delete the file. This will immediately close the window.

• Click and drag the proxy icon while holding any modifier key to move the file to another location. Hold Shift to move, Ctrl to copy, or Alt to make a link.

• For folders or executables, you can click and drag another file on top of the proxy to drop it in the folder or open it in the application.

• Hold alt and double-click the proxy to display the file properties
