I don't remember right now the details but usually these patches are far for complete or do not fit the rest of the code well. I know that there was a patch which adds as shortcut to change the current sort mode - I do not remember why it wasn't accepted. I'll try to find it in the archives and see what can be done about it. There is a patch in savannah too if I am not mistaken. Regarding the show hidden files key binding - I am not aware of patch which does this. If you can point me to such a patch I'll gladly review it. In any case I am not going to write new code before the 4.6.2 release. I'll review existing patches and will fix ugly bugs. That was just one thing that I had a memory of, but I could be wrong. Regarding the other request, the change sort mode more quickly-thingy, I'd very much like that in mc and I have noted that a few others have requested that feature as well. But, even more, a big improvement would have been to have an overall change in the way the user could configure his/hers keybindings. To simply have many many more actions that could be bound to different keys by the users own wish. -- Best Regards, Caj Zell ___ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
Re: GNU Midnight Commander 4.6.2-pre1
Is there any hope of getting 1. sort order key bindings and 2. key binding for toggling of show hidden files in the upcoming release? -- Best Regards, Caj Zell ___ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel

Re: midnight commander reloaded (?)
Hello all, I would also like to first thank all you developers for your work! Jozef Riha wrote: Dear mc devs, please let me thank you for your work at the first place. Midnight commander is still my number one file-manager (Linux). Except the utility I welcome there are however things I see in other file-managers (total commander) which I would be happy to see ported. Specifically: * user defined key bindings This is a feature that I would like very very much, or if it is cumbersome to incorporate, at least an enhanced set of keybindings. Today I mainly miss how to swiftly change sort order and enable/disable view of hidden files/directories. If I might, as a user, add one more request, it would be support for diffing of directories as in the windows application Total Commander. There you can decide on recursiveness, on content, ignore date and after the diff is performed you can easily view equal files, unequal files, files unique to one directory, etc. I admit I am a little bit hesitant to write here, because of reverence of the developers skills and fear of myself posing stupid questions, but now that I have decided to post, I would be very grateful to know whether these two things are reasonable to exepct to ultimately arrive in mc? -- Best Regards, Caj Zell ___ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
