Good to see I'm not the only weirdo still using Midnight Commander.

  hahaha earlier today I needed to move some files on my server. Used Midnight Commander within an SSH client…. on my iPhone lol Being able to click in Midnight Commander makes this surprisingly usable for quick jobs!

  Why would you be a weirdo? Two-panel is the only somewhat sane way to navigate the file system, though I still try to Ctrl+\ and need to remember to Alt+S and only then to type the search pattern.

    It's just that I see so many people today with those new fangled, asynchronous, rusty thingummywuts full of unicode and sixels and kitties and whatnot that sometimes I wonder, but an orthodox FM is the only life I understand and my neural pathways for NC + MC key shortcuts run deep. I'm also a diehard mcedit user and I refuse to vi* unless forced, so that might be the weird bit. It's all good.

      > so many people today with those new fangled, asynchronous, rusty thingummywuts full of unicode and sixels and kitties and whatnot Ah, those localhost admins? Sure, if I only had a one or two machines then I probably would had some fancy-shmancy 3D TUI object navigator with a direct rendering to VRAM (supported on a whole lot of videoadapters from the list of three). But I have many, many machines to do the things - and all these things are boring, like looking in the logs and mangling the supreme configuration formatted files. And typing `cd /var/log/shitservice` get boring extremely fast.
