When kcd is first in full screen display, it stays in the navigation mode where you can use arrow keys to move the highlight bar around to any directory you want. There is another mode called find mode which highlight bar is restricted to directories that match the string appearing at the bottom of the screen. You can distinguish find mode by the string Find: displayed at the bottom of the screen. The matching search string is displayed inside the brackets ([...]).
Note that strings both before and after -> of the symbolic links are searched in find mode.
Displayed at the last row on screen is the full path name of highlighted directory. Online help also utilizes this area. You can switch between different displays by repeatly pressing F9 key.
By default, the key binding used is the one that has been used since kcd version 1.0. It is based on arrow keys, PageUp, PageDown, Home, End and function keys. This is also referred to as kcd key binding. Beside this mode, Vi and Emacs key binding are provided. You may change the key binding via the KeyBinding configuration command. However, changing the action of individual keys is not available in the current version.
Note that in kcd key binding mode, you can press Ctrl-F follow by a number key from 0 to 9 to get the same results as the function keys. This is handy for terminals without function key support. The number 1 to 9 correspond to F1 to F9 respectively. To emulate F10, use number 0. As an example, typing Ctrl-F-1 (Press and hold Ctrl key, press and release F, release Ctrl, then press and release 1) is the same as F1.
