List view
Dense, sortable file browsing with columns and keyboard-friendly selection.
List view
List view is the “workhorse” view: dense, sortable, and great for keyboard-first file work.
What you get
- sortable columns (Name, Date modified, Type, Size)
- fast sorting (click a column header)
- resizable columns (drag the header separators)
When list view wins
- big folders (lots of items on screen)
- cleanup sessions (delete/move/rename quickly)
- “what changed today?” or “what’s the biggest file?” workflows
Tips
- Keep folders on top if you jump between folders and files all day.
- Turn on Natural sorting if you work with numbered files (File 2 before File 10).
Useful pairing
- Turn on the Preview pane so list view becomes a fast “browse + inspect” workspace:
