Midnight Commander in Mac OS X Terminal

Posted in software by christoph on the March 22nd, 2008

I often use the GNU Midnight Commander to manage my files on the server. It’s just so much more efficient than the shell. Here are a couple of things you have to be aware if you’re using MC on the Mac OS X Terminal:

  • Enable the Mac keyboard function-keys for your convenience
  • make the background color of the terminal black. It just looks neater!
  • and the most important one: since there is no “insert” button on my MacBook keyboard, be aware of the alternative key combo “CTRL-T” (T for Tag). Very useful.

Have Fun!

Shouldn’t this say “25 knots = 46.3 kilometers per hour” ?
