Good morning !

+ «Tab/B-e» can align Shift-highlighted multiline block

Like «Tab/BackSpace» moves a single line, - entire block is moved.

it is adopted

when a few lines are Shift-highlighted, -
«Tab/BackSpace» touches all lines and moves them
'edit/edit.c: option_Shift_highlight_lines_tab_spacing' spaces by default = 4, but any other will do

when a single char(or more) is highlighted, - «Tab/B-e» touches all line
so: «Tab/B-e» can be used to highlight and move a single line also

«BackSpace» deletes at the begining of highlighted lines all (' ' or '\t') and moves block to the left

it affects only Shift-highlighted lines

F3 highlighting should be as it goes

when «Tab», «BackSpace», «Save» or «Save_As» are pressed highlight is still on

encountering a bug
check of unpatched mc-2007-06-23-14 can save time

anything ... let me know, please

Does this now handle UTF8 correctly so it doesn't act weird with accents and other "foreign" letters?

The mc released with Slackware 12.1 was 2007-03-09-18 and, contrary to the advice, I run my system with vt.default_utf8=1 (I use rxvt-unicode aka urxvt).

There is already fixed utf-8 compatible version of mc available somewhere along with slackbuild.

Package is called "mc-4.6.1_utf8-i486-1pin.tgz". I'm using it right now.

Thanks ErV.

It's linuxpackages, not slackbuild, btw.

In -current patched package and slackbuild (see changelog)

Thanks, vehn. I'm downloading it now.
