Description
This patch allows the user to start typing a command in the panel prompt, and then continue typing it in the subshell, or to start typing a command in the subshell, and then finish typing it in the panel prompt.
It also fixes https://midnight-commander.org/ticket/2269 and https://midnight-commander.org/ticket/2110, bugs in which mc can unexpectedly execute commands without the user's permission.
The new feature works with bash, zsh, and fish. The bugfix works on all shells.
How to test the feature:
run mc
Type any command in the command prompt, but don't hit enter.
ctrl-o
The command you typed will show up in the subshell.
Type any command in the subshell, but don't hit enter.
ctrl-o
The command you typed will show up in the prompt at the bottom of the screen below the panels.
