Recently I decide switch from Far/Total Commander to GNU MC.

I use Cygwin 1.7.1.

MC is look beauty with mintty but I have issue:

1. when press C-o to see ls output, it have irregular structure,
not indented by column, like column width set to infinity:

{{{
Application Data PrintHood
Bluetooth Software PrivacIE
Cookies Recent
gsview32.ini SendTo
IETldCache UserData
Local Settings WINDOWS
NetHood Главное меню
NTUSER.DAT Избранное
ntuser.dat.LOG Мои документы
ntuser.ini Рабочий стол
ntuser.ini.sum Шаблоны
$ ls
}}}

2. command output printed before command itself:

{{{
xxx xterm xxx
$ echo xxx $TERM xxx
}}}

3. Second shell not available.
On Debian I get prompt after pressing C-o, with Cygwin MC pressing
any key back me to MC screen.


I partially resolve all problem.
It seems by default Cygwin MC do not use subshell.
I run mc --subshell and all symptom goes out!

I dislike many typing and sadly mc is not support
any analog of '--subshell' in ~/.mc/ini.

So I create scripts:

mymc.bat   for Windows and Win+R {{{

@echo off

REM I probably on Windows with Russian language.
set LANG=ru_RU.cp1251

start mintty --size=140,50 -e mc --subshell
REM start rxvt -fn 8x16 -fb 8x16 -geometry 140x50 -e mc -a
}}}


mymc   for bash under Windows and for Linux {{{

#!/bin/sh

if [ "$OSTYPE" = cygwin ]; then
  mintty --size=140,50 -e mc --subshell &
else
  xterm -fn 8x16 -fb 8x16 -geometry 140x50 -e mc -a &
fi
}}}
