Midnight Commander emulation for emacs using dired
This package provides Midnight Commander style emulation for Emacs. Midnight Commander is a UNIX application with a User Interface similar to the old DOS program named Norton Commander. Basically this provides the user with a quick, two pane interface to their file system. I wanted to model it after Midnight Commander because it is Free Software (Norton Commander is not) and recent UNIX/Linux users will generally be more familiar with Midnight Commander. Users of dired will be familiar with mc because dired features are still present. There is Midnight Commander style package which does not use dired. It is named nc.el and is located at: ftp://ftp.math.ohio-state.edu/pub/users/ilya/emacs. It generally tries to target the DOS equivalent Norton Commander. Install/Usage Add the lines (require 'mc) to your .emacs file. In order to run mc just type M-x mc. This will invoke mc. The standard Midnight Commander key bindings should now be available. TAB -> Change between windows F2 -> Change directory F3/F4 -> Open/Edit F5 -> Copy F6 -> Move/Rename F8 -> Delete F10 -> Quit
