thanks!

nice! That made a switch from Linux a little easier.

Like

Esc commands are replaceable with alt(option) + hotkey

I canot find how to copy to cliboard selected text in MC editor. I click Esc + 4 to edit file. Then use mouse or F3 to select. How to copy that?

Select the text with the mouse, use Command+C to copy and Command+V to paste

Thanks!

Please, does anybody know how to press [ Shift + F3 ] on Mac (like on linux)?

I want to view file without going through "filter"/"scrape" command defined for known extensions?
i.e. when viewing JPG file with mcedit (mc internal viewer) - you get just info like "/filename.jpg JPEG 546x195 546x195+0+0 8-bit sRGB 24.3KB 0.000u 0:00.000" ... But I want to look directly onto raw data...

I find a workaround by pressing sequence [ ESC - SHIFT + ! ] and prepending filename with "cat " ... but you know... this is not much comfortable :)

UPDATE:
I've just figured it out. Based on this bug, desired combination is:

[ fn + SHIFT + F5 ]

Insert key for Mac OS X:

For Midnight commander it seem to be ^/Ctrl+T=Insert.

The more generic Insert function is supposed to be Fn+Return/Enter=Insert, see this other question[1] for more discussion and details.
[1] http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/29463/where-is-the-insert-key-on-a-macbook-air

There were however little success with Fn+Return working reliably in many applications.

Thanks!

use Ctrl-t in place of the insert key to select multiple files, and Esc - 1-0 in place of the F keys.

thanks @calinmiclaus - however, Select the text with the mouse, use Command+C to copy and Command+V to paste may not work ...

Select the text with the mouse and click the top bar (light blue) with the mouse (Fn+F9):
Edit > Copy to clipfile
Edit > Paste from clipfile

Any way to jump a page down in the viewer (F3) >> SOLVED >> FN + Arrow

Great!. thanks.

Ctrl-o - show/hide subshell

Anyone know how to bring up the rename file dialogue? It's supposed to be shift+F6. I have my function keys as regular function keys so I don't have to hold down shift, I only press F6. But shift+F6 doesn't do anything. F6 by itself brings up the move file dialogue.

I figured it out. I am using Karabiner-elements and when I was pressing shift+F6 it was sending shift+illumination_increment (even thought just F6 was sending F6). I updated my preferences to send F6 along with any modifier keys and now shift+F6 works fine.

Thank You Bro!

how to create new file?

@filinivan shift+f4

how to show content of current file instead inactive tab?

How to rename a folder? Shift+F6 doesn't work, it just opens create a new text

Shift + F6 works as expected. At least on external keyboard. MacOS 10.15.5

Wrong go to bottom of directory in active pane Ctrl + c, need to be Ctrl + v

When running MC under iTerm, then for copying to clipboard in MC editor hold Option ⌥ while selecting and then use CMD+C for copying the selected text (source - a comment in this SO post).

For what it's worth, started own gist for running MC on macOS under iTerm

Thx!

Esc + Enter - copy currently selected file/folder name to the command line

Thanks!

Esc then A = copy panel path to command line
