Seems M- syntax doesn't work, replaced it with \e.
# -*- mode: conf -*-
#
# All lines starting with # or empty lines are thrown away.
# Lines starting in the first column should have following format:
#
# keyword/descNL, i.e. everything after keyword/ until new line is desc
#
# keyword can be:
#
# shell (desc is, when starting with a dot, any extension (no wildcars),
# i.e. matches all the files *desc . Example: .tar matches *.tar;
# if it doesn't start with a dot, it matches only a file of that name)
#
# regex (desc is an extended regular expression)
# Please note that we are using the GNU regex library and thus
# \| matches the literal | and | has special meaning (or) and
# () have special meaning and \( \) stand for literal ( ).
#
# type (file matches this if `file %f` matches regular expression desc
# (the filename: part from `file %f` is removed))
#
# directory (matches any directory matching regular expression desc)
#
# include (matches an include directive)
#
# default (matches any file no matter what desc is)
#
# Other lines should start with a space or tab and should be in the format:
#
# keyword=commandNL (with no spaces around =), where keyword should be:
#
# Open (if the user presses Enter or doubleclicks it),
#
# View (F3), Edit (F4)
#
# Include is the keyword used to add any further entries from an include/
# section
#
# command is any one-line shell command, with the following substitutions:
#
# %% -> % character
# %p -> name of the current file (without path, but pwd is its path)
# %f -> name of the current file. Unlike %p, if file is located on a
# non-local virtual filesystem, i.e. either tarfs or ftpfs,
# then the file will be temporarily copied into a local directory
# and %f will be the full path to this local temporal file.
# If you don't want to get a local copy and want to get the
# virtual fs path (like /#ftp:ftp.cvut.cz/pub/hungry/xword), then
# use %d/%p instead of %f.
# %d -> name of the current directory (pwd, without trailing slash)
# %s -> "selected files", i.e. space separated list of tagged files if any
# or name of the current file
# %t -> list of tagged files
# %u -> list of tagged files (they'll be untaged after the command)
#
# (If these 6 letters are in uppercase, they refer to the other panel.
# But you shouldn't have to use it in this file.)
#
#
# %cd -> the rest is a path mc should change into (cd won't work, since it's
# a child process). %cd handles even vfs names.
#
# %view -> the command you type will be piped into mc's internal file viewer
# if you type only the %view and no command, viewer will load %f file
# instead (i.e. no piping, so it is different to %view cat %f)
# %view may be directly followed by {} with a list of any of
# ascii (Ascii mode), hex (Hex mode), nroff (color highlighting for
# text using backspace for bold and underscore) and unform
# (no highlighting for nroff sequences) separated by commas.
#
# %var -> You use it like this: %var{VAR:default}. This macro will expand
# to the value of the VAR variable in the environment if it's set
# otherwise the value in default will be used. This is similar to
# the Bourne shell ${VAR-default} construct.
#
# Rules are applied from top to bottom, thus the order is important.
# If some actions are missing, search continues as if this target didn't
# match (i.e. if a file matches the first and second entry and View action
# is missing in the first one, then on pressing F3 the View action from
# the second entry will be used. default should catch all the actions.
#
# Any new entries you develop for you are always welcome if they are
# useful on more than one system. You can post your modifications
# as tickets at www.midnight-commander.org
