Looking for a name of an editor....

[seantech]

The text-editor that can be found in MC, under the F4 Function key. Does it have a name, and is it something external? Does any-one know what it might be called?

 

Thx,

Sean

Don't know the answer to your question, but this is MC's homepage and it might be able to help you.

8.1 How do I get the internal editor to work?

The F4 key used to default to an external editor because that was what

most people were used to.  The newer versions use internal editor by

default.

To use the internal editor with an old version, select Configuration

from the Options menu and check the 'use internal edit' option.

Alternatively add the line

  use_internal_edit=1

under the [Midnight-Commander] section in your .mc.ini file (which is

in your home directory).

To make the editor work all the time, go to the default/* section in

the file lib/mc/mc.ext file and remove the line

    Edit=%var{EDITOR:vi} %f

The internal editor will now be invoked for anything not specified

elsewhere in the mc.ext file.

 

So I guess it is internal.

Too bad that the editor is internal. Then again.. who cares... as long as it stays there! It's a real nice editor, and I am loving it. As just about every system comes with MC, I shouldn't care.. Just go MC then F4, and I am in ;)

 

Ow well...
