Re: Setting left and right panel directories at startup

[Lynn Bradshaw]

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.

Kind Regards,

Sorry, forgot to reply all.
I said that, personally, I would put ~/Documents in the directory hotlist
and get there via C-\.
