Re: learning about mc

Alternatively,
the config file 'mc.ext' provides the opportunity to bind a command to
the actions: Open ([enter]), View ([F3]) and Edit ([F4]).
  You can, it's worth the effort, have both: the build in editor at [F4]
being a fall back in lack of X and your preferred GUI-editor on just
hitting [enter]. That needs some shell-script skills.
