Function keys are a story for themselves.

Maybe I have only an old version of git running, but the comfort of mc is much higher than that of git. "git" is a GNU-tool with the old philosohy "learn all 74 keystrokes or you loose". "mc" is a GNU-tool (owned by FSF!) of a (hopefully) new generation with a fancy and very functional menuing-system. The differences between git and mc are not the working (or not working) function keys. Winfried
