I retract my smug remark, for some reason I recalled mc as a file editor. I must be thinking of QBASIC (blue terminal interface). On Friday, May 2, 2014, Kyle Bassett <kylebassett@gmail.com> wrote:
alias mc='vim' works really well for me!
:-P
Just make sure you have a solid syntax highlighter installed, custom or otherwise.

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.
