I want to run mc in a console using the mouse, and I can't find out how to do it.
I have read the documentation, which says that I should use gpm. I do have gpm running and it is working fine: # gpm -v gpm 1.19.6, Thu Oct 4 00:21:21 CEST 2001 $ ps -ef | grep gpm root 486 1 0 12:00 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/psaux -t ps2 Here is some other version information: $ uname -r 2.4.18 $ mc -V GNU Midnight Commander 4.5.55 Edition: text mode Virtual File System: tarfs, extfs, ftpfs, mcfs, undelfs With builtin Editor Using S-Lang library with terminfo database With subshell support as default With support for background operations With mouse support on xterm and Linux console Using locale "C" (from environment variable LANG) I start the midnight (mouseless) commander from a console as follows: $ mc As far as I can see, everything is set up as it should be, but still mc does not react to the mouse as much as I would expect. I can use the mouse in mc's built in editor to cut and paste, but that's just about all it will do. In the help documentation it says that I should be able to use the mc menus, select and run files, or cd into directories, all by using the mouse. If I click on a file or directory, the selected line in mc does not change, and if I double click then all that happens is that the text is highlighted. If I right click with some text highlighted, then it gets pasted into the command line. What steps can I take to troubleshoot this problem, or if I have missed out some important information, what more could I provide to help analyse the problem? -- Best regards, Peter Hugosson-Miller _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
