Midnight Commander - "The shell is already running a command"
 

Does anyone know how to disable this message? Thanks!

<Ctrl+o>, then once or twice <Enter>

I already knew that and I wanted to avoid it :D

And it's very annoying if the shell had become busy before you have changed the directory in the panel, because then the panel's directory changes to the shell directory.

A bit offtopic
 

Another annoying thing about MC is the renaming process, but I fixed that :)

'Shell is still active. Quit anyway' message
 

I do not think it can be. Its there to tell you that mc is still running a subshell, so you need to close it before exiting.

I either

- ctl-o (check what is running. Sometimes its just a space in the input of the command line) ctl-c ctl-o, else
- accept yes to quit anyway (spacebar works)

Ctrl-o and type "clear" then hit enter.
 

Simply switch from the file display to the shell window with Ctrl-o, type "clear" then hit enter.

svarmido:cool:

What I wanted was to disable that message and implicitly not to work with Ctrl-o and other stuff

Query the developers maybe?

I don't know what's the connection between Gnome Commander and mc, but what I _do_ know is that I'll never install gcmd. Why?
1)mc is exactly what I need (though that message is very irritating)
2)since it's called Gnome Commander, to run it, you'll need the gnome libraries...well, I don't like it :D
3)I hate GUI (it should be probably the first reason)
I found a mail in which the developer was explaining that's not possible to disable it.
