mc-4.1.35: description + notes
The GNU Midnight Commander is a user-friendly yet powerful file manager and
visual shell for Unix systems. For the Unix neophyte it provides a clear,
user-friendly, and somewhat protected interface to the complexities of a
Unix system. For the expert user, it can make many frequent operations
more efficient: shifting large groups of files around and many other
common file managing tasks. It works with any text terminal, supports also
color terminals and looks very nice (see sample screen shots available at the web site).
- Subshell support for SGI
tcsh
may not work; if mc
hangs at startup try running "mc -u
".
- mc runs best inside
xterm
. If you want to run it from
within xwsh
(perhaps because you want to specify
-c
for color support) try invoking xwsh
as follows:
xwsh -noscrollbar -xrm 'xwsh*keyMapping1:' -e mc -x
Add "-u
", "-c
" or other options after "-x
".
The Alt
key probably won't work; use Esc
emulation instead.
