+Remove all instances of type casts on function pointers. Run the
+following command to get a list of function pointer types.
+    grep -r 'typedef.*(\*' . \
+    | sed -n 's/.*(\*\([[:alnum:]_]*\)).*/(\1)/p' \
+    | sort -u \
+    > fn-types.txt
+Then use fgrep to find illegal uses of these types.
+    fgrep -r "`cat fn-types.txt`" .
+Fix these uses by writing small wrapper functions.
+----
+When saving a file is not possible, mcedit should ask the user what to
+do:
+ * su(1) to another user and try again
+ * sudo
+ * change permissions of the file or the containg directory
+ * other smart things
+----
+Cannot spell check unsaved files in the editor.
+----
+Dynamic loading for libgpm, libext2fs.
+----
+Allow switching between histories of two panels.  It's convenient to
+change to a directory from the history of the other panel.
+----
+Recheck all mouse handlers, make sure that they check button number.  We don't want mouse scrolling to be interpreted as mouse click.
+
+Smooth mouse scrolling on panels.  Scrolling one page per step is too fast.
+
+Don't read prompt from the subshell, because it's unreliable.  Interpret environment variable MC_PS1 (or PS1) in the same way as bash.
+
+Support an environment variable (also like PS1 in bash) for setting the window title.
+
+real_input_dialog_help() shouldn't use translated strings in the section names in .mc/history.  Right now, mc writes separate history sections for different locales.  Only input history is affected.
+
+Add "Ignore" and "Ignore all" buttons when reporting permission problems.
+
+Better date parser - don't allow seconds and year in ftp listings on the
+same line.
+
+Report errors in fish operations and recover from them.
+
+Allow colors to be defined in the mc.lib file.  Make it possible to
+avoid using a super-long line to redefine all colors.
+
+Allow verbatim search in "Find File".  Right now, the context is always
+interpreted as regular expression.
+
+Filters in the editor should operate on the open file - don't close and
+reopen the file.  They don't work on VFS now.  For example, a gzipped
+files on FTP cannot be edited.
+
+ftp and fish with home != '/' - readjust directory to the home.
+
+Search in the viewer should have an option for case sensitive search.
+
+Make "Find File" dialog more responsive.  Keep state in a structure and
+preserve it when the search is suspended.
+
+Use KDGKBENT ioctl on Linux console to find the mapping for shifted
+functional keys.  Two mappings are widely used (Shift-F1 = F11 and
+Shift-F1 = F13).  mc should adjust the keys to the mapping.
+
+Alt-O should optionally show the current directory and move cursor down
+(as in older versions).  Old functionality on files (go to "..") is not
+needed.
