(Optional) If you are fussy about running extraneous executables, you may prefer to build dcvim\mswin\keyemulate.exe from C code yourself.The software is included in System Tools. The actual developer of this free software for Mac is FreePascal Team. The most popular version of the tool is 0.5. We cannot confirm if there is a free download of this app available. Copy the contents of dcvim\mswin\toolbar_items.xml into doublecmd.xml, into the section enclosed by tags (before copying, make sure DC is not running). The 0.9.10 version of Double Commander for Mac was available to download on the developer's website when we last checked.Make sure lua5.1.dll is present in your DC folder.Often used to make a PC keyboard more comfortable with a Mac, swapping the Alt (Option) and Windows (Command or Apple) keys, since they are in swapped positions on Mac and PC keyboards.

Since DC does not expose some of its functionality (e.g., basic cursor movements) to its scripts, dcvim relies on external key emulation utilities ( xdotool in case of Unix/Linux, and an ad hoc self-made small utility in case of MS Windows).Ĭurrently, dcvim works in Unix/Linux and MS Windows only. The dcvim extension allows to use Double Commander (DC), a cross-platform GUI file manager, in Vim-like manner to the extent allowed by the application's API.
