Re: Setting left and right panel directories at startup
It's just much faster this way. Although if you use your approach and keep infinite shell history as I do (instructions for doing that in bash here: https://github.com/readyready15728/misc/blob/master/bash.md) you can just do mc ~/Documents once and be able to C-r back to it forever.

Hi Lynn, Thanks for reminding me about the directory hotlist! I tend to use the drop-down arrow from the panel to do that.

Re: Setting left and right panel directories at startup
Sorry, forgot to reply all. I said that, personally, I would put ~/Documents in the directory hotlist and get there via C-\.
