Check the section name in your ~/.config/mc/mc.keymap. It must be [filemanager]
not [main].

There is a bug in zip-files detection. I hope, it's fixed[1]. It'll be
in the master branch at next weekend.

It's a feature[2]. Quick view shows file in the raw mode to avoid any delays
required to get some info of the file.

Again, to calculate directory statistics, or get some info of file, we need
some time. Any delay can annoy users.

Re: MC 4.8.28 main menu hotkeys

There was a hotkey conflict between "SFTP link" and "Filter": "F" was used in 
both items[1].

Change of hotkey for "Filter" was impossible, because all letters "ilter" are 
used
in this menu. From the other hand, almost all letters "stplink" are used too.
Only "k" is free. "o" in "Sort order" was free too.

Hotkeys are defined in the source code and cannot be changed via any 
configuration
options.

Only "k" can be used for that.

mc-wrapper.sh doesn't create a file. It creates a file name only. then mc 
creates a file with
given file name, and everything works fine.

Wrapper patched to use mktemp creates a file, and mc tries to open an existing 
file and fails.
A workaround is to apply `mktemp -u` or even `mktemp -u -t`, but is it portable?

Indeed.
file is opened with O_CREAT | O_EXCL flags. In this case, as written in open(2),

O_EXCL Ensure  that  this call creates the file: if this flag is specified in 
conjunction
   with O_CREAT, and pathname already exists, then open() fails with the 
error EEXIST.

A following patch is proposed:

Yes, it isn't necessary.

Before bind a key to another action you should unbind it.
f1 key is bound to for Help action.
ctrl-f is bound to Right action in the command line, which is input line.

Please create ~/.config/mc/mc.keymap with following content:

[filemanager]
# unbind a key (was: Help = f1)
Help =
# bind f1 to the new action
HotList = f1
# bind ctrl-f to the new action
Find = ctrl-f

[input]
# unbind ctrl-f (was: Right = right; alt-right; ctrl-f)
Right = right; alt-right

Unfortunately, after that ctrl-f will not work in all input lines.

The most part of tar source code in MC is very old (end of 1990s or beginning 
of 2000s)
and doesn't support some modern tar features.

In the case of firefox-68.6.0esr.tar.bz2, MC's tar vfs ignores extended headers
which contain the mtime of file in tar archive. The mtime field in POSIX header
is 0, therefore you can see the the 1 Jan 1970 in MC file panel.

Notice if you run standalone mceditor, you haven't a subshell in it [1].

A new behavior (I can't say this is a bug) is a some kind of payment

Why do you think so?

$ rpm2cpio MozillaFirefox-branding-upstream-68.0.1-1.13.x86_64.rpm | cpio -t
./usr/lib64/firefox
1 block

Archive is correct. Single empty directory is in it.

In vanilla mc the initial value of use_internal_edit is true. Some distros
(Debian and some others) change this to false.

Before first run, ~/.config/mc/ini doesn't exist.
If ~/.config/mc/ini doesn't exist, /etc/mc/mc.ini is used.
If /etc/mc/mc.ini doesn't exist, /usr/share/mc/mc.ini is used.
You can create one of these files with required default settings set.

Unfortunately, there is no info about /etc/mc/mc.ini in the man page.
I'll fix that at this weekend.

Yes. This mean that you read an archive one time only. Otherwise, if you
want walk through archive directories, you have to read archive again

The base vfs library code is in the lib/vfs directory.
Also you can find there some notes in README and HACKING files.
Unfortunately, historically, a detail documentation is absent at all.

Various VFS implementations (plugins) are in the src/vfs directory.
Some VFSes (ftp, fish, etc) are written in C. Most archive VFSes
are shell, perl, python scripts run via extfs (see src/vfs/extfs/helpers).

No. usermenu.c isn't related to editor and editor macros. It is related to user

(called via F2 in file namager or F11 in the editor).

I can't confirm that recorded macro isn't stored in ~/.local/share/mc/mc.macros.

No, I don't. We can release 4.8.16 after review and merge of #3566 and #3547.

IIRC, we don't have tickets that are so critical to be included in release.
But I can mistake because we have 540 open tickets and I can forget something.

 Please find attached my contribution to mc: tabs like Total Commander has.

This is a known issue: https://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/1581

 I am a regular midnight commander user. I use it for all my file exploring
 needs on several systems. I use it under Arch Linux and Ubuntu at home,
 under Red Hat on various servers that I administer and under Cygwin on
 Windows 7 at work.
 
 One of the things that was missing were the tabs and I hated all the time,
 when I needed to copy some files from a location to several locations to
 have to change the folder so many times.
 
 You will find an archive containing several patches that will add tabs to
 MC and a keymap file to map some shortcuts for the tabs. Another message
 will follow with some screen shots.

Bugtracker is rather than e-mail to collect requests. This is some guarantee
that your request will not be forgotten.

 Inside the archive there is an executable file called apply-patch that will
 apply all the pathes on the required files. To install the patch, just
 un-archive the patch.tar.gz inside the root folder of mc-4.8.10 archive, cd
 to patch and run ./apply-patch.

Please, no. Use diff -ruNp to create patch if you're working with snapshot.
Or git format-patch, or git diff if you're working with repo.

[...]

 Also, please note that in the src/filemanager/filegui.c you have a small
 bug at the line 288. The closing bracket of the function is inside the
 #ifdef directive, while the opening one is outside. The program will of
 course fail to compile under cygwin, so I've corrected it.

This is already fixed: https://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/3053
That is why you should use recent repo snapshot instead of release tarball.

 In the src/filemanager/mountlist.c, on the line 245 you are using the
 _GL_UNUSED macro. This will also fail to compile on my version of cygwin.
 Although I know that probably I have to add a dev package to have the macro
 defined, I don't think that it should be the case to do that just to avoid
 a warning (to add a dependency). I would do that with something like #ifdef
 _CYGWIN_ directive, but since this might be because of my installation of
 cygwin, I didn't modify it in the patch that I've sent you.

Thanks! This code was borrowed from gnulib. Seems I missed somesing. I'll check
that.

[...]

 Please let me know if you would like to include the tabs in your main
 source repository. If not, do you have something against me posting the
 patch on sourceforce and github?

The best way is following:
1. Clone git repo, or if you are not familiar with git, get recent snapshot:
https://github.com/MidnightCommander/mc/archive/master.zip
2. Create patch.
3. Attach this patch (and some description as you wish) to the ticket #1581.
You must be registered at m-c.o for that.

MC supports system-wide file bindings using xdg-open.

 That file does not seem to contain anything of the kind. It says it is

 it wants to use xmms in X.

Look at the end of sound.sh:

To disable xdg-open in mc, you can define MC_XDG_OPEN=/bin/false.

System-wide in /etc/mc/keymap, section [editor]. For reference:

For user only, the same is in ~/.config/mc/mc.keymap.

Both cases are work for me.

When you run shell script, you run new shell which is child process of MC.
When you do cd in the script, you change working directory of that child
shell. Working directory of parent is unchanged. You unable to change working
directory of parent from child.

You have to use the source built-in shell command to run script in current

Yes from mc command line only via source.

Directly from panels (pressing Enter) -- no, because script is executed in the

In order to change mc configuration directory, you have to rebuild mc using

This a packaging error. Ask your mc maintainer to fix that.

 Anyway, that is not important, still I'm not able to rename a file because
 the ESC shift+6 sequence does not give me anything. Sure, shift+f6 is
 acceptable solution for rename, and this could be just problem of a my

 behavior, and I used to use ESC 6.

Which version of mc do you use now?

 Well, i do know nothing about SQL. *g* It would be nice if you could
 open a ticket by yourself.

What? Where did you read that?

 The paragraph 'Creating Custom Reports' was terrifying. *g*

That is internal stuff of Trac itself, not MC.

To file a bug, you must be registered and logged in at m-c.o. Then you can use
the 'New Ticket' item of top-screen menu line.

 What idiot decided to change the F5/F6 window to not show the file name!!!
 I've just updated MC after many years to see that developers are destroying
 this gem!

I don't understand what you're talking about.

 GNU Midnight Commander 4.7.5.3
 
 Downloading a patch from bugzilla/mozilla gives a file with the name
 attachment.cgi?id=564208. My build script requires, that a patch begins
 with 'patch'. Trying a rename to patch_attachment.cgi?id=564208 with mc
 results in patch_attachment.cgiattachment.cgi?id=564208id=564208
 
 Steps to reproduce:
 mkdir mc-test
 cd mc-test
 touch attachment.cgi?id=564208
 mc
 Point to this file, press F6, type the letter a then ESC then TAB, press
 Home, then patch_ and then the button OK.

Yes, I confirm this bug. Special chars like ? should be escaped while
autocompletion file names. Would you create a ticket in midnight-commander.org?
Shift-F6 works as expected.

Re: mc and ctrl-x

 please, is possible to give ctrl-x back as shortcut for extended
 keybindings mode. In new stable version 4.7.5.4 [1] you removed it.

Oops, sorry, that is my fault.

 According to #2586 [2] you prefer ctrl-x as shortcut for !WordRight
 action. Do you have some stats how many users really need it for
 !WordRight action?

ctrl-x is removed only in editor. In file manager in main branch
(mc-4.8.0-pre2), it works as before. When I backported #2586 to stable branch,
I removed by mistake the key binding to ExtMap1 action in [main] section
instead of EditExtMode action in [editor] section. And EditExtMode is absent
in keymap file. That is another bug.

 Imho, ctrl-x should work as shortcut for extended keybindings mode
 again, it is quite used:

Surely.

You can edit /etc/mc/mc.keymap to restore the ctrl-x behaviour in file manager:
ExtMap1 = ctrl-x

I created a ticket:
https://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/2609

Thank you for the bugreport.

 BTW, why did you edit only misc/mc.keymap.default in that ticket and not
 also misc/mc.keymap. Imho, both should be fixed.

mc.keymap is symlink to mc.keymap.default in repo. While creating the tarball,
symlinks are replaced by files which are pointed by symlinks. As a result,
mc.keymap and mc.keymap.default are identical files in tarball.

Probably, the built-in help should be more verbose about sort orders.
