 Sincerely yours,

 ===========
AFAICS you are just guessing.
I need info from someone who's been there and done it.

In writing my analyses, which I've now deleted,
I've discoved that mc+cedit gives a structured editor for your chosen language,
which is amazing, considering that structured editors are major projects.

Editable templates for some languages: perl, 'shell', C..etc.;  are included
and you can add your own/modifications/extentions.

Importantly, the template which is selected during the mc-edit session, is
determined by the extension [and initial content?] of the file being edited.

So the <F9> -> File -> User menu..: menu-path will never take you to eg. the
C/C++ node unless applied to eg. a *.c file.

To see the level of power/complexity/possibility-of-chaos it can be noted that
when exercising the part of the menu which reads:-----
+ f \.c$ | f \.cc$
6       switch ()
        NUMBER=%{ Enter number elements of switch:}
        echo "%iswitch () {" >%b
        while [ "$NUMBER" -gt 0 ]
        do
            echo "%icase '':" >>%b
            echo "%i      break;" >>%b
            let NUMBER=$NUMBER-1
        done
        echo "%i      default:" >>%b
        echo "%i}" >>%b
---------------
 you have <apparently>
1: selected the file-type/extension: *.c or *.cc
2: selected the 'switch construct'
3: been prompted for and entered the <number of cases>

So you're down 3-levels in a decision tree.

My prefered language is not included [I can add it], so I tried to build a
funct(while(IfThenElse()) construct in C, and experienced problems:
1. the next-deeper-construct would not correctly write immediately
after the "{",
 but needed the cursor to be placed on a new-line.
2. with no combined-indenting the structure was confusing; but since separate
  source-code-indenters are available, this may be fixable.

For syntaxes that the user seldom uses, the captured knowledge that is available
seems potentially very usefull. The related syntax-hi-lighting IS very usefull.
And user contributions could help to add value, it there was a mechanism to
capture them.

Hello,

    I did not install this update, but the previous version remapped
Control-T to be some sort of selector for encodings, and it used to be
tag-current-file.

    Tag current file is necessary for older terminals, and it is also the
binding used for other terminal applications.

Miguel.

Just as all the rest. It highlights its syntax.
