- Zip archives
- FTP
- Open API
Planned features:

- just ask � and we'll do it :)
The most important keys to start:
Alt-F1, Alt-F2 � change drive
Ctrl-T � open new file tab
Ctrl-O � open new console
F4 � edit file under cursor
Ctrl-W � close tab
<any symbol in file panel> � start incremental search
Ctrl-F � start incremental search in editor and console output
Alt-Up, Alt-Down � go to next/previous item in selection, search results etc.
Alt-Left, Alt-Right � go to next/previous tab
You can use Button Bar at the bottom to figure out the most important key combinations yourself. It automatically changes state according to current location and modifier key pressed (Ctrl, Alt, Ctrl+Alt),
Hetman�s Open API has been designed to enable adding features easily and quickly. You can develop your own implementation of the file system that will be fully supported by Hetman.
We are focused to bring Java applications to desktop. Hetman is our first attempt in this direction. We invite you to download EAP (Early Access Program) Hetman�s version for testing and evaluation. Your opinion is what matters most to us.
