I use it with Guake! drop-down terminal. This configuration came from a need for MC to be a full-blown part of desktop environment. It works well for me and saves me much time when working with large amounts of files of varied types, so I decide to share it. Perhaps it will be useful to someone. Installation: - Unpack ZIP - run install.sh script from directory you unpacked into. Use no_deps command line argument to forgo installing dependencies.
