[mc] A new mc user

[Ralf Mardorf]

Hi,

without the shutdown of the mailing lists at gnome.org I wouldn't have
bothered to take a look at mc again.

I'm a command line user, I just replaced ls by an alias with lsd and use
a few other aliases to reduce typing. However, to compare and edit files
I used to use Meld. Due to the latest GTK oddities, such as the
ambiguous cave paintings that replace unambiguous single words, the
previously good user interface of Meld became a PITA. Right now I
noticed I can switch between command line and mc by Ctrl+O and Ctrl+X
(probably for execute) followed by Ctrl+D (likely for diff) I get a
replacement for Meld, that still does use unambiguous single words,
instead of ambiguous cave paintings. I'm a dyslexic, but not overwhelmed
by single words, while misleading pictograms are probably an annoyance
for everybody using a computer to get work done.

I'm a new mc user. I will still use command line for most tasks, but
it's seemingly at least a very good replacement for Meld. I got rid of
the GTK annoyances and can use it without X, too. Just the enforced skin
when using it outside of a X session is harsh.

Regards,
Ralf
