Help setting up FAR Manager 2.0?

Question

Mobile development

I saw on one computer in the institution (there is no possibility to overwrite the config) an interestingly configured FAR:
- it had tabs (!!!)
- the names of all files and directories were displayed in CAPS-LOCK LETTERS
- in the list of disks (Alt + F1 / Alt + F2) there was an item "PDA", by selecting which it was possible to work with the contents of the device on Windows Mobile (via ActiveSync, I believe).
- If you press F3, having selected an mp3 file, it will play, but will not be displayed in the editor
- If we copy something, you could press something and continue working while copying was in the background. Maybe it was a new tab or another copy - I can't tell.
I sort of figured out the first one through ConEmu. How to get the rest?

Answer 1

Copying in the background works through the Background Copy plugin .
To install, you need administrator rights, since a special Windows service is installed there, which does the actual copying. And the plug-in manages it and draws interface windows.
mp3 is also a plugin. I don’t remember the name offhand, but in the entire history of FAR, it was not even the only one like it. In turn, the plugin is hung up on F3 through file associations.
I installed it a long time ago, played around and removed it. It works quite well, but specialized software is still more convenient.

Answer 2

On the second point. In version 2.0, this "feature" was most likely removed. It was in the interface settings
Most likely, you need to rummage on the FAR forum , there is a lot of things

Answer 3

> If you press F3 while highlighting an mp3 file, it will play, but will not be displayed in the editor
Well, it's simple - for any extension you can set an action (F9 -> Commands -> File asscciations) that will be performed on F3, F4 and Enter

Answer 4

> - he had tabs (!!!)
ConEmu
makes a full-fledged GUI application from the headlight, with tabs, drag-n-drop and true color.
