he's right - mc is awesome and I still use it every day. The VFS stuff is brilliant.

I do now use thunar too for some things and sometimes get into a slightly confused state where I end up using both for different bits of the same task in a rather inefficient fashion. Keeping 'tab' for 'switch pane' was a poor choice of keybinding, though, given it's use in command-completion.

BTW has anyone ever worked out if there is a keyboard shortcut to access the dropdown of directory history? It seems to be inaccessible without a mouse, which can't be right?

I suspect I would disagree with Miguel on many things these days, but his overall contribution has been huge, and that, particularly mc, is certainly enough for me not to be rude about him in public.
