All the OFMs I've used provide an in your face shell prompt, no tricks required, except in MC & FCL[1] (& probably most OFMs), a required Ctrl-o to toggle off if not already off, its window(s) before <RETURN>, in order for shell completion and/or history to function. As further proof of OFM efficacy, FCL and some other OFMs require a GUI to run. Use all your favorite command line tools without leaving the OFM, whether in GUI (or not, with exceptions).
Sort of sounds a bit like "bash" - use all your favorite command line tools without knowing what an OFM is. :-)
It is just easier inside 'mc', for some jobs.
For example, type a command, then [ctrl][enter] and the selected file name is copied to the command line. [ctrl][shift][enter] and it also copies the path. With spaces and other chars properly escaped.
You mean like : type a command, then "paste" (mouse) and the selected whatever is copied to the command line. Double click on the path, and it also selects/pastes the path.
Or, you can write scripts that act on the selected files.
No??! Really??! OMD! Okay, you've won, hands down, I can't beat that, I have to get one of these OFMs installed. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (14.2°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes
