Description (last modified by andrew_b) (diff)
Hello,
the new key binding of Ctrl+t to set_panel_encoding in the current git version leads to the problem, that there is whether now way to mark_file on mac os, because apple keyboards don't have an ins key like on pc keyboards, or the marking of files works different on these platforms which is pretty annoying.
Is there a solution?

hm... I think, we need to review this behaviuor. CTRL+T used in editor viewer, therefore ctrl+t it's a good solution for usage in panels too, IMHO.
And this ticket not for 'future releases'. Need to fix in near time. :)

maybe change hotkey to: F18 (S-F8) ?

Me too.
comment:7 Changed 15 years ago by iNode
But F18 used for delete_cmd_local
/* Invoked by F18. Remove selected file, regardless of marked files. */
Should we remap it too?

no. i find it most ... unnatural to map something unrelated to deletion to something-f8. especially tagging, which is possibly the most harmless operation of all.
comment:10 Changed 15 years ago by ossi
uh, why me? :D
hmm, a common shortcut to mark the current entry in file managers is ... space. too bad that we just used this for something else. :}
how about using shift-f3 for the directory size calculation? afair, it means "raw view" for files, which kinda makes no sense for directories, so the overload should be ok. that would free up space again.
comment:11 Changed 15 years ago by angel_il
we still talk about hotkey for select codesets?
comment:12 Changed 15 years ago by ossi
no, i ignored that. :D
but if tagging is moved to space, ctrl-t would be free for real. except that i don't get the part about "editor viewer".
anyway, one could also use some more bizarre hotkey like ctrl-# for charsets. dunno what the effect on non-latin keyboard layouts would be ...

Still waiting for hotkey for select encoding. Please stop offtop.

Why no revert to ctrl-t to tag files, and say ctrl-shift-t, or alt-shift-t for the encoding menu?
Just used mc on my friends mac, and low and behold, no insert key. This really needs a fix.

C-S-t and M-S-t offten used by Xorg/DM for keyboard layout switching.

Replying to iNode:
C-S-t and M-S-t offten used by Xorg/DM for keyboard layout switching.
C-t and C-S-t have identical esc sequencies. Thus, C-S-t cannot be used instead of C-t.
M-S-t can be used as Esc-S-t not A-S-t.
