Every action has a key
If you've used Norton Commander, Total Commander or Midnight Commander, your hands already know AnyBucket. If you haven't, the keys are in the menus and on an optional function-key bar.
- 1
F2 to F8
F2 renames, F3 Quick Looks, F4 edits, F5 copies, F6 moves, F7 makes a folder and F8 deletes.

Mark without the mouse
Space marks and moves down, ⇧ with the arrows extends, + and − mark and unmark by pattern.
- 3
Type to jump
Start typing a name and the cursor jumps to the first file that starts with it. ⌘F filters the pane.
- 4
A bar for the F-keys
Turn on Settings → Keyboard → Show Function-Key Bar to see every F-key under the panes and click it.
