- lproven 3y ago> Total commander isn’t FOSS. I'm aware of that. There are lots of FOSS equivalents, though. Including, I believe, on Windows. Wikipedia lists 23 of which I think -- haven't checked -- the majority are FOSS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_manager#Orthodox_file_managers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_manager#Orthodox_file_man... > Ironically windows 11 can’t do vertical taskbars. True. Easily fixed with Explorer Patcher, though. Which, ironically, is FOSS. > And where in windows can you change the system shortcuts? I don't use it much any more and stopped early this century, so my knowledge here may be out of date. When I do, I use SharpKeys to put a GUI on editing the relevant registry keys for keyboard remapping. https://github.com/randyrants/sharpkeys https://github.com/randyrants/sharpkeys In the NT 3.x era, it was the properties of every EXE's PIF file. So I set Crtl+Alt+(initial) to open my most used apps. Ctrl+Alt+D for DOS, E for Excel, W for Word, etc. This still works with limitations under Win9x through to XP, which is when I jumped off the Windows ship. But mostly it's about learning the many many built-ins.
