Hello.
I tried the following thing:
1) export EDITOR=emacs -nw
2) mc
3) (with internal editor disabled) go to some file and press F4
This opens emacs with the file, however it does not open it in
terminal (which should be done with -nw switch) but in new window in
X. (as if it somehow ignored -nw). If I run the following in shell:
$EDITOR file
it opens file as expected. Why does mc not do that?
I tried setting EDITOR to vim -R and again when run from mc, it does
not honor -R switch.
I have version 4.8.12 (which comes from Fedora 21 package).

Hello Stevko.
I recall being confounded by this very thing.
In my mc/ini file ($HOME/.config/mc/ini)
I have this:
[External editor or viewer parameters]
vi=%filename +%lineno
vim=%filename +%lineno
ed=+%lineno %filename
/bin/mo=%filename +%lineno
mo=+%lineno %filename
less=%filename +%lineno
joe=%filename +%lineno
more=%filename +%lineno
You can add the command line options here.
It seems mc doesn't *really* call $EDITOR.
