I wish that I could have context extraction options on any archive file I right click on. With kr and GC you frequently need to switch back and forth from mouse and keyboard, extremely inefficient, not to mention breaking your flow.Īnd I truly hate gnome's archive manager. It just pukes some ANSI code on the command line. With MC certain keys don't function correctly, like TAB, you would think tab would move your focus caret, but noooo (lol). With TC I can check MD5, unpack, move, change permissions and edit in under 5 seconds with no mouse involved. I know there has to be a way to copy text from a console window running MC but I haven't figure out how to yet. conf file I have to go load up GC (gnome-commander) and view the file so I can copy text from one file to another. Midnight Commander is really nice, although I haven't figured out how to change the way it looks at all, plus it is almost impossible to copy text from it. To unpack a file I count five extra mouse clicks and being forced to switch from mouse to keyboard to mouse and back to keyboard just to handle a tar file. Neither let you customize the menus compared to TC, and again GC's lack of file compression handling is aggravating. Krusader makes it very difficult to set up ftp links, while GC does this better. Krusader comes closer to TC than Gnome-commander, but each one has some horrible, horrible, awful features. It also likes to crash a lot when you try searching files. Gnome commander lacks archive/compression integration.
