@rava:
A little howto on how to use mc command would be appreciated. I never got to be able to use the full power of the beast.
Anyone who is able to use optimally midnight commander is welcome to give some tips.
Thanks.

for starters, here's arch wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Midnight_Commander
tip1. at the moment there is a bug with vte3 terminals(eg gnome terminal) : the arrow keys don't work(for navigation)
workaround: start mc with: TERM=xterm mc
tip2: if you want to activate a module:
a. select (highlight) the module
b. type: activate %p in the command box(near the bottom)
