Control-characters are like their regular counterparts but with a numeric value 0x40 less. Others that you probably know are C-c (0x03, break) , C-d, C-/ . More obscure are C-s (aka XOFF) to suspend terminal output, and C-q (aka XON) to continue output. All these are control-characters used forever on unix terminals. Also fairly standard C-h (backspace) C-p (previous) C-n (next). C-j is synonym for carriage return aka \r, C-m is line-feed aka \n. Good to know when keyboard mappings get screwed up. In this context C-l is actually sending page-break control-character, which will usually redraw the terminal window, unless the app decides to use it for something else. These control-codes can be seen in an acii table, they are the first ten code-points.

Should be as easy as hitting Ctrl-L when your screen is messed up,
should it not? Don't use MC, so haven't tried it. If it does not work,
look in manual for key-binding for "redraw" .

Just redirect the standard end error output to the void, like:

View=%view{ascii} midentify %f

so opening the file (pressing enter on the file), or editing it (via
pressing F4) I don;t see any output from neither mpv nor avidemux.
Note, that both of the processes are instantly put to the background
(amperand at the end of the command) so that mc is still operatable.
Hope, that helps :)
This does help. Thank you very much. I'll be trying it out soon.
