seantech Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtweidmann Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 Don't know the answer to your question, but this is MC's homepage and it might be able to help you. http://www.ibiblio.org/mc/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/mc...type=text/plain 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seantech Posted July 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 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...
