action_type: keyboard

action_subtype: press

raw_command: Pressed: Ctrl+Shift+N

converted_command: Press: Ctrl+Shift+N

reasoning: The task is to build a three-level folder path and move a file into its innermost folder, using the keyboard only. Press Ctrl+Shift+N to create a new folder in the current Explorer window: the new folder appears with its name selected for editing, so naming it is the next action rather than a separate rename.


action_subtype: type

raw_command: Typed: Projects

converted_command: Type: Projects

reasoning: Type `Projects` to name the folder. The default name is selected when the folder is created, so typing replaces it rather than appending.


raw_command: Pressed: Return

converted_command: Press: Enter

reasoning: After typing the folder name Press Enter to commit the name.


reasoning: After the folder is created the newly created folder always stays highlighted unless manually click elsewhere. Press Enter again to open the newly created folder. The folder stays selected after being named, so a second Enter descends into it — the next folder has to be created inside this one for the nesting to be built.


reasoning: Press Ctrl+Shift+N to create the second folder, now inside `Projects`.


raw_command: Typed: 2026

reasoning: Type `2026` to name it.


reasoning: After typing the new folder name Press Enter to commit the name.


reasoning: Press Enter again to open `2026`, so the third folder is created one level deeper.


reasoning: Press Ctrl+Shift+N to create the third folder, inside `2026`.


raw_command: Typed: Q3

converted_command: Type: Q3

reasoning: Type `Q3` to name it. The `Projects\2026\Q3` chain now exists.


reasoning: After typing the new folder name Press Enter to commit the name. The folder structure is complete; what remains is moving the file into it.


raw_command: Pressed: Alt+Up

converted_command: Press: Alt+Up

reasoning: Press Alt+Up to go up one folder level, from `2026` back toward the top. `report.pdf` sits in `corpus-seed`, two levels above, so the window has to climb back out to reach it.


reasoning: Press Alt+Up again to reach `corpus-seed`, the folder holding `report.pdf`.


raw_command: Pressed: Home

converted_command: Press: Home

reasoning: Press Home to jump the selection to the first item in the list. Starting from a known position is what makes the following Down presses countable — the selection would otherwise begin wherever the folder navigation left it.


raw_command: Pressed: Down

converted_command: Press: Down

reasoning: Press Down to move the selection from `dest` to `docs`, the second row. This begins a counted walk through the file list toward `report.pdf` — thirteen presses in all. Counting rows is the keyboard modality's way of reaching a specific file, where the mouse take would simply click it.


reasoning: Press Down again, advancing the selection to `found`.


reasoning: Press Down to reach `Projects` — the folder created earlier in this task, now sitting fourth in the list. The walk passes straight over it, because the file has to be cut before there is anything to paste into it. Each press is a separate captured step because each is a separate keystroke.


reasoning: Press Down to reach `shots`.


reasoning: Press Down to reach `sizes`, the last of the six folders.


reasoning: Press Down to reach `Archive.zip`. This is where the list crosses from folders into files: Explorer sorts all folders above all files, which is why the six folders were walked through first regardless of their names.


reasoning: Press Down to reach `backup_old.txt`, roughly half way through the walk.


reasoning: Press Down to reach `doc-colour.txt`.


reasoning: Press Down to reach `draft_post.txt`.


reasoning: Press Down to reach `img-screenshot.png`.


reasoning: Press Down to reach `invoice_2026.txt`.


reasoning: Press Down to reach `notes.txt`, one row short of the target.


reasoning: Press Down for the thirteenth and last time, landing the selection on `report.pdf` — the file the task moves, and the fourteenth of the folder's fifteen items. The status bar reading `1 item selected 20 bytes` is the confirmation that the count was right; the keystroke record alone proves only that Down was pressed.


raw_command: Pressed: Ctrl+X

converted_command: Press: Ctrl+X

reasoning: Press Ctrl+X to cut the selected file. Unlike Finder, Explorer has a real cut for files, so the move is decided here rather than at paste time — the file is marked to be relocated once a paste happens.


reasoning: Press Home to jump back to the first item in the list, re-establishing a known starting position before counting rows again.


reasoning: Press Down to move the selection from `dest` to `docs`, starting a second counted walk — this time toward the `Projects` folder rather than the file.


reasoning: Press Down to reach `found`, one row short of the target.


reasoning: Press Down for the third time, landing the selection on `Projects`. Only three presses are needed this time because `Projects` is the fourth item in the list, where `report.pdf` was the fourteenth — not because the cut shortened the list. Cutting in Explorer marks the file for relocation but leaves it in place, so the folder still holds all fifteen items and `report.pdf` is still listed.


reasoning: Press Enter to open `Projects`.


reasoning: Press Home to select the first item inside `Projects`.


reasoning: Press Enter to open `2026`. It is the first item in the folder, so Home alone selects it and no Down presses are needed at this level.


reasoning: Press Home to select the first item inside `2026`.


reasoning: Press Enter to open `Q3`, the innermost folder and the file's destination.


raw_command: Pressed: Ctrl+V

converted_command: Press: Ctrl+V

reasoning: Press Ctrl+V to paste. Because the file was cut rather than copied, this completes a move — `report.pdf` now lives in `Q3` and is gone from `corpus-seed`.
