The killer feature in mc was the popup menu that you could configure to run several commands on the selected files. And if memory serves it could be customized

  "was"? People still use it. Like a lot. I'm surprised

  I didn’t use mc much back in the day, but I do use Emacs dired a ton these days. Specially for applying command line utilities to a bunch of files. https://xenodium.com/how-i-batch-apply-and-save-one-liners https://xenodium.com/how-i-batch-apply-and-save-one-liners

  Which menu is that? I never tried it. Been an MC user since 1997.

    It is bound by default to F2, look at the "Edit Menu File" section here: https://source.midnight-commander.org/man/mc.html https://source.midnight-commander.org/man/mc.html
