Hello. I tried the following thing: 1) export EDITOR="emacs -nw" 2) mc 3) (with internal editor disabled) go to some file and press F4 This opens emacs with the file, however it does not open it in terminal (which should be done with -nw switch) but in new window in X. (as if it somehow ignored -nw). If I run the following in shell: $EDITOR file it opens file as expected. Why does mc not do that? I tried setting EDITOR to "vim -R" and again when run from mc, it does not honor -R switch. I have version 4.8.12 (which comes from Fedora 21 package).

Hello Stevko. I recall being confounded by this very thing. In my mc/ini file ($HOME/.config/mc/ini) I have this: [External editor or viewer parameters] vi=%filename +%lineno vim=%filename +%lineno ed=+%lineno %filename /bin/mo=%filename +%lineno mo=+%lineno %filename less=%filename +%lineno joe=%filename +%lineno more=%filename +%lineno You can add the command line options here. It seems mc doesn't *really* call $EDITOR. -- Peace and Cheer _______________________________________________ mc mailing list https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
