VSCommander can browse archive files as if they were directories, replicating the Far Manager archive plugin experience.
Press Enter on an archive file to open it. The pane
switches to archive browsing mode -- the top border shows
the archive filename and current path within the archive.
Enter on directory Navigate into the directory
Enter on .. Go up; at root, exit archive
Enter on file Extract to temp and open
Ctrl+PageUp Go up one level
Ctrl+PageDown Enter selected directory
F3 on file Extract to temp and view
F4 on file Extract to temp and edit
Navigate up past the archive root to exit and return to the filesystem directory containing the archive file.
Press F5 inside an archive to extract selected files
to the other pane's directory. The standard Copy dialog
appears. Directories are extracted recursively.
When the other pane is inside an archive and you press
F5, the selected files are added to the archive. For
read-only formats (TAR, RAR), an error is shown.
Press F8 inside an archive to delete selected entries.
Directories are deleted recursively. Read-only formats
show an error message.
Press F7 to create a new empty directory entry in the
archive. Read-only formats show an error message.
Press F6 inside an archive to move (extract + delete)
entries to the other pane. When the other pane is inside
an archive, files are added and deleted from filesystem.
