Hello! I've been using Midnight Commander for over 3 years now. Although I find it a very useful file manager, it suffers (at least in my opinion) from one major issue. Yes, you've figured it out. Keyboard configurability.
Take slrn, mutt or John's editor (http://space.mit.edu/~davis/jed/) for example. The last is a highly configurable editor mainly due to the heavy use of the S-Lang library. Wouldn't it be better to (leave it up to the user to) assign terminal strings to particular Midnight Commander's actions, and take out the ioctl mess from MC'c code? In my opinion, this would be much clearer, portable and configurable solution. We may also call it a Slang Commander ;) I'm not too sure what (if any) development is being planned on this front, but it would be a *very* useful extension. I'm sick of adding another hacks to MC's to suit my needs. Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to start a new project (or contribute) at the moment. However, things should soon hopefully calm down... Thanks in advance for any comments/thoughts.
