Restoring the functionality of Alt-o

Hello,

    A long time ago I added Alt-o as a binding that would help in
navigating directories.  The idea is that in one panel you press Alt-o,
and if the selection is on a directory, it will load the contents of the
highlighted directory into the other panel.  If no directory was
selected, this was a no-op.

    At some point this behavior was removed from mc, and now instead it
just loads the current directory on the other panel, which is not very
useful for navigating anything.

    I remember having this discussion with Pavel but I forget the
rationale for it.  I would like to get this change reverted in CVS.  Any
objections?

Miguel
