Hi,
Regarding an issue with Midnight Commander I would like to turn to this forum. I am an old Linux user and I always use Midnight Commander for file handling and I use the MC editor with key F3 but in case of MX I get a new window with command prompt and not the editor. I tried every possibilities for settings but without success. I have never met this issue, can somebody help me solve it?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Midnight Commander editor
That's weird. For me F3 means "View File" and F4 means "Edit File".
But look at the configuration file /etc/mc/mc.default.keymap. There you can define the keys.

Within keyboard shortcut settings F4 is bound to open the Terminal. Just remove the keyboard shortcut, so that F4 will open the editor in Midnight Commander.aszabo wrote: Fri Dec 13, 2019 2:49 pm Regarding an issue with Midnight Commander I would like to turn to this forum.

Re: Midnight Commander editor
OK, thanks but where can set the keyboard bounding? Anyway, so far I did not have this issue, I used MC with default settings and to F4 I have always got the editor.
Re: Midnight Commander editor
Under Debian you're always asked at the 1st use to choose for the internal mcedit or another editor.

Re: Midnight Commander editor
Maybe you mis the file where the settings are stored, I'n now not able to look.
Try it yourself, use Google to find it.

Re: Midnight Commander editor
One question: do you use MC? And if yes, which editor do you use in terminal in MC?
Re: Midnight Commander editor
I keep F4 bound to mcedit, but use in mc/ terminal also vim and nano ; often also calling geany with the terminalaszabo wrote: Fri Dec 13, 2019 4:54 pm One question: do you use MC? And if yes, which editor do you use in terminal in MC?
