Midnight Commander 4.8.1.3 OSX

GNU Midnight Commander (also referred to as MC) is a user shell with text-mode full-screen interface. It can be run on the OS console, in xterm and other terminal emulators.

GNU Midnight Commander allows you to manage files while making most of you screen and giving you a clear representation of the filesystem, yet it’s simple enough to be run over a telnet or ssh session.

Hi Is there any binary (dmg/pkg) version around? If so please post a link. Thanks.

WebFox, 2012. március 27 @ 13:27

WebFox: See > Download installer package: mc-4.8.1-bin-osx-universal.zip (uncompress ZIP and start installer (pkg))

LouiSe, 2012. március 27 @ 14:01

Hi There!!
I successfully downloaded and installed MC on my MacBook Pro.

It works perfectly, but the F1-F12 keys of my Mac do not work with MC.

In the Terminal program itself the functionkeys can be changed, but that would not be smart I guess, as I will change the Terminal settings instead of the MC setting.

Anyone with a hint on how make MC recognize the F keys on my Macbook Pro please??

Best regards

Robbert

Tulipman, 2012. április 10 @ 13:22

Hi Robert!

So, you can access function keys from F1 to F10 by pressing ESC+number, eg. F2=ESC+2.

LouiSe, 2012. április 10 @ 13:35

Köszi, nagyon hiányzott az MC és nem volt kedvem csak ezért Xcode stb. telepítgetéshez. Letöltöttem és máris hibátlanul fut :)

Karel, 2012. július 17 @ 11:30

Thanks for the port, it works nicely, however, it clashes with Homebrew (dynlib architecture conflict). I found may be a better way to uninstall any .pkg: https://wincent.com/wiki/Uninstalling_packages_(.pkg_files)_on_Mac_OS_X

Ondrej, 2012. december 28 @ 22:28

Thanks!

I have installed it as I deemed it to be the latest version. It installed beautifully.

I recommend you install nano version 2.2.6 from macports for a quick little no frills editor, if you, like me handle most of your editing chores in the GUI. As you then have the same basic emacs key-bindings, and full utf-8 support.

I also use it with Iterm2 – works beautifully!

McUsr, 2012. december 29 @ 22:17

Thanks for the port! Running mc with iTerm2 on Mountain Lion. I set output_lines=4 but it still only see one console line. Is that a limitation of the OSX version?

Greg P, 2013. január 24 @ 16:09

Greg: i’ve checked changed output_lines argument in ~/.config/mc/ini file, and same effect here, GUI forget to use it… maybe the next version. :)
