In vanilla mc the initial value of use_internal_edit is true. Some distros (Debian and some others) change this to false. > If there is a way to do it, then is it possible to just use lines that I > want to change, not the whole configuration, say > > [Midnight-Commander] > use_internal_edit=true Before first run, ~/.config/mc/ini doesn't exist. If ~/.config/mc/ini doesn't exist, /etc/mc/mc.ini is used. If /etc/mc/mc.ini doesn't exist, /usr/share/mc/mc.ini is used. You can create one of these files with required default settings set. Unfortunately, there is no info about /etc/mc/mc.ini in the man page. I'll fix that at this weekend. -- Andrew _______________________________________________ mc-devel mailing list https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
