PSS: I figured it out. It now goes to the line number in both view and edit modes
in ~/.bashrc added: # mc needs VIEWER or PAGER as well as EDITOR set in order to pass line number VIEWER=tilde EDITOR=tilde in ~/.config/mc/ini added:[External editor or viewer parameters] tilde=%filename:%lineno Needed to log out and back in for it to take effect BobC On Sunday, March 18, 2018, 11:31:59 AM CDT, Bob Currey via mc <mc@gnome.org> wrote: PS: I'm using mc version 4.8.18 on AntiX17 which is based on Debian Stretch and mc comes preinstalled and preconfigured, but I did add the mc-wrapper.sh mode. I am running it from an mrxvt-mini terminal, but I don't think that is causing my troubles.

I waant to use Tilde as my viewer because I am using it as my editor, and I want the functionality between the viewer and editor to be consistent, only differing in the ability to change and save. Tilde can view or edit the file and uses a syntax of: tilde %filename:%lineno Note the colon ":" between the filename and line number to go to How can I configure Midnight Commander to run tilde passing the parameter that way?
