Fine... I am gonna try and learn MC because it bothers me that Konqueror takes 10 secs to show up (after changing to Fluxbox I am more used to wait 1-3 secs for programs to 'show me some sign of life')
First of all, I want to configure the colors, I know the command (-C), I know the format (keyword=fgcolor,bgcolor), but I can't make it work if I want to specify more than one keyword!
I tried
mc -C normal=white,black directory=white,lightgray selected=white,red marked=white,blue
doesn't works. (only the first color specified gets applied)
mc -C normal=white,black|directory=white,lightgray
Nope, it's not like that either.
mc -C normal=white,black,directory=white,lightgray
No luck either.
So.. unless I keep trying the other 256 possible ways to make this work, could anyone just save me some time and tell me how is the syntax? Certainly mc --help-colors was no help when it came to more than one color.
