Works with my Notebook Toshiba Satellite 3000-514 and this versions: SuSE-8.2/KDE-3.1.1/mc-4.6.0-336, and also Debian-etch/KDE-3.5.1/mc-4.6.1-1. If it works on other machines too: should be added to help files. More satisfactory would be an additional keybinding - I suppose ctrl+H - that works with german keyboard layout outside of X, too. Until now, outside of X I must use menu entry, have no keybinding for accessing the hotlist. Only ""add to hotlist"" Ctrl-X H works. }}} " task assigned major Future Releases mc-core master sbrabec@… powerman-asdf@… no branch
