How about a universal version of the SDrive Control program that supports the TK-II ?
PS/2 Keyboard Command Keys
Page-Up and Page-Down keys step through the listing one page at a time
Background
The TK-II combined with a PS/2 keyboard has an entire navigation system that can be utilized when traversing the files on an SDrive-MAX (SDrive-Simple, SDrive-ng, or SDrive original) However the original sdrive.atr control program resident in the SD card root directory didn't support any of the special navigation keys of the PS/2 keyboard. In fact because that control program was meant to be used with a stock Atari keyboard, it didn't recognize CTRL+Arrow keys either (unfortunately this is the default mode on a TK-II), and thus requires you to use CTRL with the arrow keys on a TK-II based system in order to make them appear the way the control program expects.
So AtariAge member Panther modified the original sdrive control program, and specifically added navigation actions to recognize PS/2 keyboard equivalents like Home, End, Page-Up, and Page-Down. He also got rid of the need to hold the CTRL key with the Up and Down arrows. The end result is an SDrive control program that works seamlessly with all of the special navigation features of a TK-II system, and still works with non TK-II based systems. For a bit of redundancy, the Left and Right arrow keys mimic the Page-Up and Page-Down keys respectively (kinda like the "<" and ">" keys in FujiNet), and all of the original key commands and joystick control have been retained as well.
Installation
You might want to first backup your original sdrive.atr file on your SD card. I simply changed the name of mine to sdrive.xxx. Next download the file below and copy it into the root directory of your SD card, then reboot the system with that SD card inserted. That's all there is to it, enjoy!

NEW May 14, 2024 ::: AtariAge member Panther added TK-II and FujiNet style Navigation to the original sdrive.atr program. | ||||||
This file is also compatible with the 576NUC+, the 1088XEL, and 1088XLD systems, which incorporate a TK-II chip.
Requires Resident XL or XE OS to recognize the Special Navigation Keys which are derived from 1200XL Function Keys and is only meant to be used with a TK-II, since the original navigation keys will no longer be recognized.
