Indeed - Lynx-like motion is also my top tip. IMHO it should be enabled as default. Remember to save settings!
My other tip: ALT+S or CTRL+S for file searching. Allows searching for names - with wildcards: Example: CTRL+S then sy jumps to first file starting with sy CTRL+S then *sy jumps to first file containing sy Further presses of CTRL+S jump to next matching file If your keyboard or terminal does not have function keys: ESC [num] does equivalent of F[num] Example: to exit mc hit ESC then 0 (same as F10) But why would you ever want to do that?
