OK, I will try that. Right now it is something like "Only on dumb 
terminals" or similar wording. But the explanation in the man page for 
this option was not exactly clear.


Thanks.

Hello Yury, thanks for your quick responses. I'm not up to patching C (having 
touched C in over 20 years) so I'll just have to hope for some fix for trash in 
the future.

With respect to the window title, I disabled that and change my command prompt; 
I like that better anyway.

Hmmm, on Linux the title is restored after mc exits, but it could be
that it is done by bash or vte, rather than mc. Is there any such
feature request already on Trac?


BTW: this is using homebrew and iTerm2 on Mac.


We are not currently saving & restoring the title by ourselves, so it 
sounds like iTerm2 on Mac is behaves differently from vte on Linux in this 
respect...


Maybe we could do something along the following lines; I haven't even 
checked whether this compiles, but what it should do is to push the last 
title on the stack the first time it is updated, and the pop it out upon 
exiting mc.


I don't know if iTerm2 fully supports the title stack feature, but it has 
the potential to work; if you don't want to patch mc, you can try wrapping 
the call with


echo -ne '\e[22t'
mc
echo -ne '\e[23t'

If that works, would be nice if you could create a nice feature request on 
Trac with all relevant info or maybe even prepare a clean patch?

Have a look at the mc.default.keymap : you can't exactly map Delete to a 
custom command, but, at least, you can unmap it, so that you don't trigger 
it accidentally. Of course, you can patch delete_cmd() in mc sources, but 
that requires... err... patching.

For the time being, and if I remember, I type `trash`, mark the files, and then 
`ctrl+x t` to paste them.

terminal title after exit

[Joseph Reagle]

mc changes the terminal title; I know I can disable this with xterm_title=0, 
but I actually don't mind it *if* it restored the title after I exited... 

Additionally, if I do `alt-o` instead of exiting, it is nice to see that mc is 
still running.

Using trash on MacOS Homebrew

[Joseph Reagle]

I use the command `trash` on homebrew mac and recently screwed myself in mc 
when I deleted files and realized it didn't use trash either. Is there an 
alias, keyboard remapping, or something else that would work on MacOS homebrew? 
Thanks

It's very easy to implement such things in mc^2. There's no need to
use C. I'll look into this later today.

(I haven't bothered with this feature before because I didn't quite
see why people would use it. After all, as @Mike wrote, there are tabs
in terminal emulators. OTOH, I think I can see why tabs might be
useful in some situations.)
