Reporter birdie (aros@….com)

I'm quite upset as to why MC 4.8.28 has changed the Sort order shortcut in the menu from S to O.

Is there any justification for that? Could we get the old shortcut back? There's nothing else which uses the S character in the F9 menu.

"S" has been used for for over two decades, now it doesn't work.

There's no SFTP in Midnight Commander 4.8.28 in Fedora 36.

SFTP is not such a popular protocol to change the 20 year old defaults.

Whatever, looks like you don't care.

In the "SFTP link..." menu item there are at least seven more characters to use.

Let's check:

  • K is not used anywhere else
  • N is not used anywhere else

Yeah, let's break what people are used to. Have you become the Gnome project followers?

Replying to andrew_b:

Is it possible to use N or K for SFTP please?

I've used the S shortcut for sorting for 20 years. I totally don't like how someone has decided to break decades old shortcuts.
