<title
>Moving Around</title>
<para
>By Moving Around we mean the transfer of the keyboard and mouse focus between the different parts of the &krusader; <link linkend="mainwindow"

An Active Panel will remain active until the other panel receives the focus (&ie;: if the Left Panel was active and you clicked on the Command Line - then the Left Panel remains the Active Panel). You must deliberately change which panel is active.</para>

<para
>The most common way to transfer the focus to a specific panel is to use the mouse to click on that panel. But you should be aware of the following: <itemizedlist>

Passwords can be stored in &tdewallet;. Please note that the archive support first needs to be properly <link linkend="konfig-archives"

>File Splitter</title>

<para
>This function splits one (big) file up into multiple smaller files so that they can be placed on several smaller media (&eg; zip-drives, ...) or sent by e-mail. The multiple files can be combined again to recreate the original file. &krusader; and &tcmd; split/combine functions are compatible. To split a file choose <emphasis role="bold"
><menuchoice
><guimenu
>File</guimenu
><guimenuitem
>Split</guimenuitem
></menuchoice
> </emphasis
> or <keycombo action="simul"

<para
>If the name of the original file is <filename
>foo</filename
>, then the name of the smaller files will be <filename
>foo.000 foo.001 foo.002</filename
> &etc; There is no theoretical limit in the number of smaller files, but it is recommended to limit the number to a max of 1023 files. &krusader; creates a <filename
>foo.crc</filename
> file. This file contains the name, size and the crc checksum of the original file. It's possible to combine the file without the <filename
>foo.crc</filename
> file but in this case &krusader; can't check if the the original file was recreated correctly.</para>

><command

>fileaa, fileab, fileac</filename
