I very much hope so.

It amazes me that the Linux ecosystem (and similar OSs), under which
flourish gazillion of companies, don't help in this.

Perhaps people just aren't aware of the situation. Before I came here
I assumed there was some "Bilderberg group" behind MC. After all, MC
is such a basic element of Linux, so who wouldn't want a hand in it?

Yep, I've noticed your resounding absence :-(  I'm relieved to see
you're still an addict.

I too have been inactive. It started with a computer crash that kept
me busy for a couple of months, and afterwards I sort of remained
inactive. Not that I've been active before that.

Right! He's like Atlas. I mean it.

I swear, when that $75 million USD finally get to me from that
Nigerian prince whose rich uncle Absalom had died, the very first
thing I'm going to do is put Andrew and you on a hge payroll. For
Andrew I'll buy a gold Lamborghini. Even before I buy myself a
computer!

Sounds awesome!

This is something that has often been requested before under many guises 
(mainly line endings autodetection), however, I'm not sure whether 
automatic dos2unix conversion is the best way to handle it.


I think it would be nice to have an IDEA-like behaviour where the line 
endings scheme is detected automatically and then the buffer is edited 
according to the detected scheme, however, one optionally can force 
automatic conversion to the desired scheme as well.

I'd like to use this opportunity to post an update re. what's going on at 
my end: basically, I've been inactive in the last couple of months 
(travelling, $dayjob), but I hope that my efforts in trying to find an 
employer who would be ready to sponsor some work on mc at least on the 
scale of several hours per week have now finally borne fruit and if all 
goes well I will again get more actively involved in mc this fall.


In the mean time, kudos to Andrew who is single-handedly doing some 
excellent work on mc right now...

mc^2 news (august 2016)

[Mooffie]

Hi folks!

mc^2 is a Lua energized version of MC:

http://www.typo.co.il/~mooffie/mc-lua/docs/html/

So, what's new since last month? -Two exciting modules:

* "Folder Jumping"

  A feature borrowed from GitHub.com.[1]

  See screenshot[2]

* Unwind

  Automatically convert Windows/DOS line-ends to Unix, in
  the editor.

  See screenshot[3]

(You don't need to configure anything if you want to try out these
modules: the 'demo' module will ask you, at startup, which features
you want to enable.)
