Are there midnight commander plugins

mcplugin

I've had an idea for a while regarding an ncurses-based SVN repository browser, and I'm beginning to think that a little handywork on MC could yield promising results.

Does anyone know if MC (midnight commander) have plugins or extensions? Something similar would be how emacs and vim have plugins that can extend their functionality.

To my knowledge there are not any plugins or extensions to MC, I looked through the features list and did not see anything either (https://github.com/MidnightCommander/mc). Though it has been discussed here:

Midnight Commander – Troubleshooting Slow Start

It works for me now. I am using

GNU Midnight Commander 4.8.21

strace wait on long time

connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(6011),
  sin_addr=inet_addr("x.x.x.x")}, 16) = ? ERESTARTSYS
  (To be restarted if SA_RESTART is set)'

I tried this:

# hostname

use this for /etc/hosts:

nameofhost=hostname

add this $nameofhost to the /etc/hosts on line starting with

127.0.0.1 localhost ... $nameofhost

Cheers!

Midnight Commander: file size format

You can adjust the displayed digits with the column size option, see the “Listing mode” section in the manual. The file to edit is ~/.config/mc/panels.ini.

To list the file sizes as K, M or G use a narrow size column using the user_format key:

[New Left Panel]
user_format=half type name mark size:4 space mtime

If you want the size without abbreviation, reserve enough space for it:

[New Right Panel]
user_format=half type name mark size:16 space mtime
