File Operations

Here you can find a list of operations that Marta offers. Hotkeys in parentheses are the default ones.

• New Folder (F7) – create a new folder. The action supports creation of nested folders (e.g. foo/bar/baz).
• New File (⇧F7) – create an empty (0-byte) file. Like New Folder, the action supports creation of files in nested folders (e.g. foo/file.txt).
• Copy (F5) – copy selected files to some location.
• Duplicate (⌘D) – make duplicates of selected files, adding a name suffix.
• Copy to Inactive Pane – similar to Copy, but no dialogs are shown, the action starts copying right away.
• Move (F6) – move selected files to some location.
• Move to Inactive Pane – similar to Move and Copy to Inactive Pane. No dialogs are shown, moving starts immediately.
• Rename (⇧F6) — renames a file or a directory.
• Move to Trash (F8) – move selected files ot the Trash, if supported by the file system.
• Delete (⇧F8) – delete selected files immediately (without putting them to the Trash). Files are deleted permanently and you won’t be able to restore them later.
  🐧 You can disable the confirmation dialog for Delete and Move to Trash actions if you want (change true to false where needed):

  behavior {
    	actions {
    		core.delete.confirm true
    		core.trash.confirm true
    	}
    }

• Compress – compress selected files to an archive.
• Extract – extract all contents of the archive.
• Edit (F4) – open selected files in an editor.
  🐧 You can configure the text editor (environment/textEditor). Marta supports Sublime Text, Atom, Visual Studio Code, macvim and many other popular editors. Just specify the application name without the .app extension suffix, and that’s it.
• Edit Folder (⇧F4) – open the current folder in an editor.
