It doesn't support % substitutions, doesn't expands variables nor output of external commands It's impossible to do for example: cd %D cd TES* (if only one dir matches the wildcard) cd `/bin/pwd` cd $SOMEVAR cd somedir || echo fail All of the above commands do work in any normal shell, but not in mc. However after defining the follwing alias in bash alias ccd='cd' I can use `ccd %D', `ccd $VAR' etc. in mc. I wish this could be possible without the alias - either support for such an advanced features could be added to mc, or mc could provide a way to disable the internal cd in favour of the shell built-in one.""" enhancement new major Future Releases mc-core 4.7.0-pre1 no branch
