After decades of using mc I found a fantastic use of Panelising:
display all the files which have Class: and whatever on the same row,
or Class: class 1 Class 2
I set the display for full width one panel only because when I eg. run `pTLC`
from the top of my dir tree, which 'mirrors' my physical storage space,
I typically get 2 dozen entries, where a typical one may look like:
/ofcB/FlcabL/drawMid/HngFl/OCG/GrnAFROX -- long path needs FULL screen
Which means that one of the list of paper-record's relating to project TLC
is located in real/physical-space:
officeB, FilingCabinetLeft, MiddleDraw, .GreenFolder-marked-AFROX.
So the panel allows you to collect all the files which describe documents
related to project TLC.
I'm wondering now if it would be possible to search in the panalised selection
for file/s containig String1, probably I've tested that it's not possible.
So then I just hit F3 [or F4] to view/edit the description of that
paper doco, to see what it's about, and if it's one of those that I need
for what ever I'm doing.
Obviously some papers relate to multiple projects.
Then I just write in the file, a line with:
Class: do cat fish
and then I'd have a pDogCatFish script.
The scripts are 3 or 4 lines of awk code, which USEnet specialist
helped me code.
I *DO* remember that when I was testing the system, if there were actually
N entries of eg. Class: TLC the panel only showed N-1 entries.
And it was always the top entry that was missing. Right now I can't remember
if that was the 1st alphabwtical or the most recent, but a did a work around
which AFAIK was eg. a dummy file called ==TLC== which became the unseen.
'top one'. AFAIK, later, this list reported that the missing panelised
element bug had been fixed.
I don't remember using C-R or C-x.
IIRC I used the menu to setup 'panelised' mode, and keyed in
eg. `pTLC` or `pCatDog` and moved it down to the panelise position.
There is a facility to 'recall the history of commands'.
BTW a simple one-liner find grep/awk can list all the files which contain
Class: and cat and dog [on the same line], but mc-panelising
collects them all together for detailed viewing/editing.

Hi all,
Recently finding out (again) about External Panelize, quickly becoming a
favorite of mine. I'm trying to replace 'watch'-ing some files with this.
Is there a way to make C-R re-executing the command? That would be much
more convenient than C-x ! down down* Enter. I'm willing to use another key
binding, but how do you instruct mc to execute a certain command in
External panelize? Is macro the right way here?
Regards,
Steven
