But when [ie. always] you have a flood of new tasks/items, you don't want to have to operate like a blind person: work with familiar configuration. You want to use VISUAL [the great strength eg. of mc] ?

KDE lets me 'just add one more' by a click, whereas non-X mode is limited [normally] to 6 and it needs awkward keying to change VTs. I need X for opera & Oberon/s and swapping between X and non-X takes nearly a second. And gpm doesn't transfer between the 2 modes. I thought I remembered some version/configuration allowed multi mc on an X-screen, which you could resize and move, so that the one which got the mouse-focus was alive and you could cutNpaste between different mcedit-views. Using screen is lame, partly because you need Ctr-a/<tab> to toggle between views, instead of the currently-focused-view being automatically 'live'. > For error > checking?

I liked fvwm2 but as time goes on I've found extra utility from KDE. Thanks, == Chris Glur. _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
