Hello all,

I would also like to first thank all you developers for your work!

This is a feature that I would like very very much, or if it is 
cumbersome to incorporate, at least an enhanced set of keybindings. 
Today I mainly miss how to swiftly change sort order and enable/disable 
view of hidden files/directories.

If I might, as a user, add one more request, it would be support for 
diffing of directories as in the windows application Total Commander. 
There you can decide on recursiveness, "on content", "ignore date" and 
after the diff is performed you can easily view equal files, unequal 
files, files unique to one directory, etc.

I admit I am a little bit hesitant to write here, because of reverence 
of the developers skills and fear of myself posing stupid questions, but 
now that I have decided to post, I would be very grateful to know 
whether these two things are reasonable to exepct to ultimately arrive 
in mc?
