Re: [PATCH] space on prompt bugfix
Jindrich Novy wrote: I did two patches to fix it so that you can decide which one is better commit candidate. Patch1: Allows an user to type leading spaces on the command prompt, but when enter is pressed, it tests whether the user typed at least something except spaces. In case it finds only spaces, it deletes them from the command prompt and let the enter be further processed. Patch2: Doesn't let the user to type leading spaces if he didn't write a non- space letter already. IMHO, patch1 is better way.

However, typing the leading spaces in the command prompt IMHO doesn't make too much sense to me so maybe after patch2 is applied we may use the spacebar as an equivalent of Ins for selecting files/dirs as usual in other filemanagers when nothing is actually typed in the command prompt. That is a slight advantage of the second patch so please let me know if you like/dislike the idea so that I can do another patch for this or simply be happy with the patch1. Intuitively, the MC can be perceived as a screen extension to shell (which became possible due to ncurses/slang lib and Ctr/Fn/Alt/Meta keyboard features). Therefore, MC`s cmdline should be closer to a shell command line, rather than a screen application input field. Currently, we have only one printable character -- Tab -- which behaves unser MC and a shell differently (and it is reasonable). But don`t add space to this list! There are a lot of keyboard buttons, modifier keys etc. to do things easy -- let MC cmdline be a true command line. -- Dmitry Butskoj [EMAIL PROTECTED] Saint-Petersburg, Russia ___ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
Re: [RFE][PATCH] Allow cd smb://, cd sh://, cd mc:// vfs requests
Jindrich Novy wrote: Hi, since we can access ftp filesystems either like cd /#ftp: or more intuitively like cd ftp:// it's not a bad idea IMNSHO to add such extensions also for other filesystems. The attached patch implements such an extension and it makes vfs_translate_url() more comprehensive in the way that the aliases are kept in a separate table. strip_password() is modified to take the change in account. Cheers, Jindrich Jindrich, As you have already touched this part of the code, think about one more feature: replace /#ftp-like prefixes to ftp://-like on command line substitution (%d, %D, M-Enter, etc.) In most cases such substitution is used to form an argument of a command, i.e. rmp -i %D/%F, or lynx -dump %D . Currently, only internal cd command can eat /#ftp: . An ideal variant is: internal cd can handel both mc and general form, command line substitution should mostly use general form.

Hello Dmitry,
I only wanted to propose a more intuitive way to access various VFSes to
the most of users and to let them use the functionality ASAP. Some
further work to let them make their life with mc more comfortable is
welcome so if you have any pending patches similar to this problem, no
one will be angry if you send them here ;)
Cheers,
Jindrich
My old patch attached. It locates the place where something should be
done now, not for ftp only...
