Question: Is Midnight Commander supported?

[aik099]

In Midnight Commander:

• current directory logically changes when you switch from one panel into another and back, but I'm not sure if Bash is able to detect that
• PROMPT_COMMAND (that is changed by McFly) is also invoked

Have you checked that commands executed from Midnight Commander command line are tracked against proper directory?

I've never used Midnight Commander. McFly uses the PWD environment variable to determine directory.

I've checked that PWD environment variable changes, when I switch active panel. For unknown reasons .bash_profile isn't used at 100% by Midnight Commander, because Ctrl+R doesn't seem to be remapped (when panels are opened it changes hints of Midnight Commander above command prompt, but when panels are closed it uses native Ctrl+R).

Maybe there is a trick to get McFly working inside Midnight Commander. If I'll have an urgent need I'll investigate.

Thank you.
