Re: [arch-general] mc - why not alias mc-wrapper.sh as default

alias mc='vim' works really well for me! :-P Just make sure you have a solid syntax highlighter installed, custom or otherwise. On Thursday, May 1, 2014, David C. Rankin wrote:

All,

midnight commander provides a convenient script that allows exit to the present working directory of mc instead of returning you to the directory in which mc was started. All that is required is a simple alias:

alias mc='. /usr/lib/mc/mc-wrapper.sh'

This simply invokes mc with the -P option saving the present dir to a tmp file, then changing to it on exit.

Any reason not to make this the default?

Just a convenience suggestion with a simple fix -- for consideration.
