Where the OP has (my emphasis):
...Example: I have several font files sorted 1 or more font files in 1 matching dir. All are sorted by (sub) categories and sorted by (sub) alfabet. All have different names. I need to get all files from all subfolders into the main folder.
D:\Fonts\misc\categories\alfabet\    > D:\Fonts\  ...

I could be wrong, of course, but I'm having difficulty seeing a driving need for this obsolete Windows File Explorer single-function add-on to continue, given that it has been superseded by the ability to flatten folders to one's heart's desire in modern Windows File Explorer alternatives - e,g. xplorer² (which I have used for ages), or XYplorer (as @highend01 suggests) - i.e., the problem has kinda "gone away".
I suppose the presumption here is based on my experience that, for years, probably no-one needing more complex file management would necessarily be able to rely on using Windows File Explorer for it anyway.   :(

WARNING: Not for the faint-hearted. Possibly the most gruesome stomach-churning non-fiction movie you are ever likely to see:

12_1038x774_A7792B1A.png

Gosnell - The Trial of America's Biggest Serial Killer (2018) (Abortionist murderer docu-drama) IMDB 7/10 Stars (my personal rating= 5/5 Stars).
Not only is this a movie about a murderer, it is also a de facto social commentary and indictment of a coldly negligent society and its health and social welfare services that permitted Gosnell to practice unchecked as a horrifically callous abortionist for 30 years and for him being deliberately left unaudited for the decade prior to his arrest/conviction. The reason for this laxness seems to have been fear of some perverted kind of political correctness.

I would like to apologise here for pointing to it in 2013 as a black humour joke about what appeared to be the MSM's deliberate self-censorship by not turning up to report on the trial:
A picture worth a thousand words?
Photo: Empty 'Reserved Media Seating' at Abortion Doc Gosnell's Murder Trial
...The trial that wasn't?
-IainB (April 13, 2013, 07:07 AM)
The media's avoidance behaviour and the solitary blogger who was reporting on the trial and who took the photograph of the empty reserved seats are featured in the movie. The blogger was effectively the only journalist there, at first, but the photo she took, when circulated on the Internet, ensured that the MSM could ignore the trial no longer.
If I had known more about the seriousness of the crimes/trial, I would not have made a flippant joke about it like that.

In the movie credits there's a link to the image of "Baby Boy A" - a photo taken by an assistant/nurse of a live baby that had been murdered by Gosnell and which was estimated by a neonatologist to be at least 32 weeks, if not more, in gestational age. This was apparently a very difficult piece of evidence for the jurors to have to examine, but it proved to be crucially important in securing a conviction.

I'm a typical pommie soccer fan, and I appreciate soccer teams from all countries and like to see what teams are doing well in the ratings.
Africa has some seriously keen football teams. This YT clip is a news report from around 2018 and is of an African Champions league round up - Messi and Timbot Cotruzzle.
Listen carefully...

@mouser:
slc is talking about the advanced SendKeys feature of LBC that lets you tell LBC to send some hotkeys to an app. ...

OIC. That makes sense. I had completely misunderstood: "I am trying to use the down arrow to go down in a menu."

Hold down the down arrow key until the cursor gets to where you want. You don't need to keep pressing/depressing the arrow key.
Alternatively, If it's an LBC drop-down menu list, then just type the first letter of the name in the list (e.g., "S") and the cursor will jump to the first occurrence. Pressing "S" again will jump to the next line beginning with "S", etc.
Otherwise, you could use an AutoHotkey script, I suppose, but it would seem kinda pointless (forgive the pun).
