Shortcut keys added to the Control Panel

Working with the File Manager of the Tierra Hosting Control Panel has now become an even more effortless experience.

Thanks to the newly added shortcut key functionality, you can now organize and manage your files quickly and easily, just like on your computer.

Shortcut keys refer to a set of keyboard keys that can perform different tasks and are compatible with multiple applications.

The browser-based File Manager now supports popular search and copy/paste shortcut keys similar to those used in word processors.

What are the File Manager‘s shortcut keys about?


The following are the keyboard shortcut combinations that you can use while working with the File Manager:

You can easily search through the file and folder listings of a certain directory by using the Ctrl+F shortcut keys.
