I think you mean odd Terminal.app problem when in bash or mc when you press right on an end of line, cursor moves to the last char. I can remember solving it by backspace press at that moment. >> Use Learn Keys in MC menu to teach it better key bindings for your terminal. >> BTW in OS X Terminal.app you can also configure the escape sequences >> sent by your keys, using Terminal - Preferences - Keyboard. > > Hmm, that would need me to sync these setting with keymaps, > plus key teaching inside MC options.

And if I did, the bat files work. Well, years ago when I was a primarily Windows user, this Far behaviour irritated me, (the only settings i wanted to save were sane archiver command lines instead of the ones supplied with Far) but now I use Windows only episodically. > Thank you.

As for Shift-Cursor, it's not A True NC-Way ;) I guess it initially appeared in GUI-based NC clones like Windows Commander. Alt+<+> is indeed an interesting feature if you mean "select all files with the same name and different extension". But I usually switch to sorting by name for such operations, it's also safer when you see files you are selecting. Of course if there are tens of such files it's faster to type rm filemask.* ENTER, or if you prefer CUI, type + filemask.* ENTER F8 ENTER. Although I don't need these two features, I suppose that if someone would create corresponding tickets on midnight-commander.com, they'll be reviewed in a short period of time. Even without patches attached. I'd rather support a feature that would add support for M-Enter and % macros in the group select dialog. -- Ph. _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list (attachment size limit: 40KB) Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
