The Navigator page is your primary location for browsing and manipulating files in Orion. The page can be focused on any folder, including the root folder associated with each Orion user. The current folder being displayed is shown below the word Navigator in the title area, with a breadcrumb showing the complete path to the folder. You can browse through a directory hierarchy either by clicking on a folder to open a Navigator page on that folder, or by expanding the tree to show children in the same page. You can navigate upwards by clicking a path in the breadcrumb, or by clicking Go Up (Alt+Up on the keyboard). Clicking a file will open a page for that file. For source code files (JavaScript, HTML, CSS), clicking on a file will open the Coding page.
Commands for operating on files in the Navigator appear in several places, depending on what files and folders they are operating upon. Commands that operate directly on the root folder of Navigator are displayed in the tool bar. Commands that operate on individual files and folders in the list appear in the drop-down menu next to that file or folder. Commands that operate on the files selected in the table are shown in the More menu in the tool bar.
Some commands are also accessible using the keyboard. Type '?' to display a list of available commands:
