I. Far Manager: advanced settings.
===============================================================================
   This section describes the advanced technical information, not  included  in
the main help file, that is actual for the current Far Manager version.



=====================
  1.1. General/miscellaneous.
=====================


1.1.0.(TechInfo #0)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   Key "/u <username>"
   The  data   from  [HKCU\Software\Far Manager]     is     copied     into
   [HKCU\Software\Far Manager\Users]  only if the following registry branch
   doesn't exist:
   [HKCU\Software\Far Manager\Users\<username>]. Only the following branches
   are not copied:
   [HKCU\Software\Far Manager\Users] and [HKCU\Software\Far Manager\PluginsCache].
   That means that changing parameters  described  below  will  not  affect
   existing user profiles.  Setting  for  "<username>"  should  be  changed
   relative to the branch [HKCU\Software\Far Manager\Users\<username>].

1.1.1.(TechInfo #3)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   New command line parameter - "/co".
   (the full description is given in the help file)

   references activation in HLF files:
     0 - do not use URL activation.
     1 - use URL activation.
     2 - use URL activation, but show a warning message.
   If activation is on and nothing happens, then try  to  add  256  to  the
   current value, it will enable the second activation variant.
   The default value is 1.

1.1.3.(TechInfo #22)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Far Manager\KeyMacros]

   The default value is 1 - set the Hidden attribute for hidden shares.

1.1.6.(TechInfo #40)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   User menu caption
   If  you  think  that  a  user  menu  caption  looking  like  "Main  menu
   (Registry)" is a poor design choice, you can make a small correction  in
   the LNG files:
     change the line after the label "// <...menu (Registry)>" to an
     empty string and restart the Far Manager. After that, the user
     menu caption will look like "Main menu".

1.1.7.(TechInfo #47)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Far Manager\Confirmations]
   "EscTwiceToInterrupt":REG_DWORD
   The key "Confirmations/EscTwiceToInterrupt"  of  DWORD  type  allows  to
   control the handling of  the  Esc  key  in  the  interrupt  confirmation
   message box.
   Can have one of the following values:
     0 - Pressing ESC closes the message box and continues the operation
     1 - Pressing ESC closes the message box and interrupts the operation
   The default value is 0 (close the message and continue the operation).

   Usually it should be applied to custom.fmt, wcx.fmt and upx.fmt.
   Possible values:
     0  - normal priority (default);
     1  - lower priority.
   The search order is  all  normal-priority  modules,  then  the  rest  if
   needed.
   Example:
   Headers of some SFX rar-archives are compressed with UPX. If the upx.fmt
   is present the archive is first opened as a compressed exe-file and then
   as rar-sfx. If "upx.fmt"=dword:1 such an archive will be treated  as  an
   usual rar-sfx. Compressed exe-files that are not rar SFX will  still  be
   handled by upx.fmt.

1.1.12.(TechInfo #72)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Far Manager\System]
   "SavePluginFoldersHistory":REG_DWORD
   The key "System/SavePluginFoldersHistory" of DWORD type allows  to  save

   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Far Manager\KeyBarLabels]
   Parameters in registry key "KeyBarLabels" allow to  redefine  labels  of
   function keys without modifying LNG-files.
   This key has high priority: initially, Far reads labels of function keys
   from LNG-file, then changes label values to values  from  this  registry
   key (if corresponding label was found).
   Structure:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Far Manager\KeyBarLabels\LANGUAGE\AREA]
    "KEYNAME"="Value"
    Here
      LANGUAGE   - English name of interface language, same spelling as in
                   ".Language" parameter of LNG-file (between '=' and ',');
                   for example, English or Russian.
      AREA       - area where label is active;
                   these areas are recognized: "Shell", "Help", "Editor",
                   "Viewer", "QView", "Tree", "Info"
      KEYNAME    - name of the key in the macro notation  (for  Ctrl-Alt-F7
                   combination the KEYNAME is "CtrlAltF7");
                   only function keys from F1 to F12 are recognized
                   (in combination with Alt, Ctrl, and Shift modifiers).
   For example,
    to label F1 as "Manual" in editor, you need to specify:
      [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Far Manager\KeyBarLabels\English\Editor]
      "F1"="Manual"

   key combination that can be used to detach the Far Manager console  from
   a non-interactive process running in it.
   If a long-running process (for example, archiving)  was  run  in  a  Far
   console, and for some reasons this very instance of Far  is  needed  (an
   editor in the background) or it is undesirable to run a new instance  of
   Far, pressing this key combination will create a  new  console  for  Far
   where it will continue running as if the process has already ended,  and
   the process will continue working in the old console.
   For example, the value of "ConsoleDetachKey" equal to "CtrlAltX" assigns
   the shortcut Ctrl-Alt-X to the detach function.

   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Far Manager\System]
   "CopySecurityOptions":REG_DWORD

   The key "System/CopySecurityOptions" of DWORD type allows to control the
   state of the "Access rights" option of the Copy/Move dialogs.
   Bit map:
     0 and 1 - Move dialog: set this option to "Copy" (bit 0 is set  to  1,
               bit 1 is set to 0) or "Move" (both bits 0 and 1 are  set  to
               1) by default;
     2 - Move dialog: remember option state for the current Far session;
     3 and 4 - Copy dialog: set this option to "Copy" (bit 3 is set  to  1,
               bit 4 is set to 0) or "Move" (both bits 3 and 4 are  set  to
               1) by default;
     5 - Copy dialog: remember option state for the current Far session.
   The effect of bits 0 and 1 depends on the state of bit 2:
   1. If bit 2 is set to 1 then the "Access  rights"  option  will  be  set
      according to bits 0 and 1 only in the first time the Move  dialog  is
      called. If you change this option manually in  the  dialog  then  the
      next time the dialog is  called  this  option  will  have  the  value
      previously set by you. The state of this option is saved  only  until
      the end of the current Far session. Next  time  you  start  Far  this
      option will once again be set according to bits 0 and 1.
   2. If bit 2 is set to 0, then the "Access rights"  option  will  be  set
      according to bits 0 and 1 every time the Move  dialog  is  displayed.
      You can change the option but it will apply only to the current  Move
      operation.
   The same rules apply to the effect of bits 3  and  4  depending  on  the
   state of bit 5 for the Copy dialog.
   Examples:
     0x21 - always set the "Copy" action for the "Access rights" option  in
            the Move dialog and set the default action for the Copy  dialog
            where user setting will be remembered until Far is closed.
     0xC0 - always set the "Copy" action for the "Access rights" option  in
            the Copy dialog and set the default action for the Move  dialog
            where user setting will be remembered until Far is closed.
   The default value is 0 (select the default option each time  the  dialog
   is opened).
   Remarks:
   1. The "System/CopySecurityOptions" key does not affect the creation  of
      links (Alt-F6). In this case the access right are always copied.

   list of commands that  will  be  immediately  passed  to  %comspec%  for
   execution, searching the PATH  and  alike  will  not  be  done.  Command
   delimiter is ';'.
   For example if "ExcludeCmds" is set to "DATE;ECHO" then when  'date'  is
   inputted the internal command of CMD.EXE/COMMAND.COM will  be  executed.
   To execute the external program "date.exe" the exact name must be given.
   On the other hand if "date.exe" is found in %PATH% and "DATE" is removed
   from "ExcludeCmds" then the internal command of the com. processor  will
   never be executed.

   Ready made settings for CMD.EXE, COMMAND.COM and 4NT.EXE can be found in
   the Addons\SetUp folder, files "Executor.???.reg".

   The commands "CLS", "REM", "CD" and "CHDIR" are processed by Far on  its
   own. Those commands are excluded from the "Executor.???.reg" files..

   The commands "IF", "CHCP" and "SET" are not processed by  Far  in  their
   entirety -  if  the  syntax  differs  from  the  one  explained  in  the
   "Operating system commands" help topic then the command  execution  will
   be handed over to the com. processor.
   This option is used only if the extended functionality of  the  executor

   batch files (files that are processed by the command line processor)  so
   they will be executed inside the  Far  console  windows  when  Enter  is
   pressed on the corresponding panel item  (others  -  in  a  new  console
   window).

   List format: <.><Extension><;>[<.><Extension><;>]
   Separator - the semicolon (';') character.
   Single ";" character defines an empty list (in such a case no batch file
   will be executed by Far).

   For example, a list of ".BAT;.BTM;" defines that "*.BAT" and "*.BTM" are
   batch files.

   In DOS/Windows 9x batch files are defined as  files  having  the  ".BAT"
   extension. In the Windows NT product line - ".BAT" and ".CMD".  The  4NT
   command line  processor  (http://jpsoft.com)  considers  file  with  the
   ".BTM" extension to be batch files. If the ".BTM" extension  is  defined
   in the list but no settings for it exist in the system (i.e. 4NT is  not
   installed) then the standard command processor (command.com or  cmd.exe)
   will not execute such batch files.

   Function is called by Far macro language $XLat operator, which can be
   assigned to any key combination.

1.9.0.(TechInfo #10)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Far Manager\XLat]
   The parameter "Flags" determines the behaviour of the XLat function.
     Bits:
       0 - under Windows NT family, switch to the next available
           keyboard layout after performing the translation.
           (см. так же описание бита 2)
       1 - emit a beep after performing the translation.
       2 - Использовать предопределенные именованные правила для "двойных" клавиш.
           Параметр в реестре c именем раскладки, например:
           "HKCU\Software\Far Manager\XLat/00000409:REG_SZ"
              обозначает "набирали по-русски в английской раскладке"
           "HKCU\Software\Far Manager\XLat/00000419:REG_SZ"
              обозначает "набирали по-английски в русской раскладке"
           и т.п.
           Так же, если установлен бит 0, то переключение раскладок происходит
           только по списку значений, перечисленных в
           "HKCU\Software\Far Manager\XLat/Layouts:REG_SZ", независимо от количества
           установленных в системе раскладок.
      16 - Конвертировать всю командную строку при отсутствии выделенного
           блока.
   The default value is 0x00010001 (switch the keyboard layout).

1.9.1.(TechInfo #16)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Far Manager\XLat]
   "WordDivForXlat":REG_SZ
   Word delimiter symbols for the XLat function (for transliteration of the
   currrent word without selection). Can contain no more than 255 symbols.
   The default value is ' \t!#$%^&*()+|"=\[]/@?'.

1.9.2.(TechInfo #80)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Far Manager\XLat]
   "Layouts":REG_SZ
   Номера раскладок клавиатуры (через ';'), которые будут переключаться,
   независимо от количества установленных в системе раскладок.
   Например, "04090409;04190419" (или "0409;0419").
   Если указано меньше двух, то механизм "отключается" и раскладки
   переключаются по кругу, все.
   Far для "Layouts" считывает первые 10 значений, остальные, если есть,
   игнорируются.

   По умолчанию значению отсутствует.


II. Windows: settings that apply to Far Manager.
===============================================================================
   This section describes the additional technical information  that  has  some
appliance to Far Manager.


2.0.(TechInfo #57)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   If the  [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\CopyHookHandlers]  registry
   key is empty Far removes it when started.
   If this key is empty then Far will crash  when  deleting  files  to  the
   recycle bin.

2.1.(TechInfo #58)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
   "AutoEndTasks":REG_DWORD
   System: Automatically Close Hung Applications.
   This option is used to force Windows to automatically close without  any
   warning applications that have hung.

   Can be one of the following values:
     0 - off.
     1 - allow to automatically close hung applications.
   Default value is 0 (off).

   Setting the key to "1" allows to eliminate the problem  of  closing  the
   internal modal editor (e.g. editing a file inside an archive) using  the
   standard "Close" button of the console window.
   For details see: http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/199/


2.2.(TechInfo #59)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor]
   "DisableUNCCheck":REG_DWORD
   (applies only to NT4/2k/XP/2003/Vista/2008 and cmd.exe)
   The CMD.EXE normally disallows UNC names from being used for the current
   directory. When Far tries to execute a command of  the  command  process
   and the current path is UNC then the following  error  message  will  be
   written to the console:

     "CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory.
     UNC paths are not supported.  Defaulting to Windows directory."

   (the output might be different for NT4/W2k/XP/2003/Vista/2008)

   The key "DisableUNCCheck" allows to resolve this problem.
   The following values can be used:
     0 - output a warning message and set the  current  path  to  Windows
         system folder.
     1 - output no warning and try to set the current path to the UNC path.

   The default value is 0.
   Recommended value is 1.
