Midnight Commander
[EDIT I 03/12/2008]
I attached a installation package. You can start mc in mrxvt with "mc" or "/usr/local/bin/startmc". Installation script has set a symbolic link via "ln -s /usr/local/bin/startmc /usr/bin/mc". mrxvt is included in the zip file. I have used the modded version in this post. If you use the matchbox keyboard most of the time, you should read this and use 0.4v instead, which includes Macros to emulate non-existing keys on iLiad's software keyboard. Contents of zip file: # mc.iLiad.0.1.install [mc installation package] # mrxvt_iliad_0.3.1 [shell terminal mrxvt] # doc [mc FAQ, man pages] # mc 4.6.1 iLiad 0.1.png [screenshot] # Readme.txt [this file] [EDIT II 03/12/2008] #I have downloaded an unofficial mc src code mc-4.6.2.pre1-1.2.src.rpm with dozens of patch files, which UTF-8 patch file to choose? Maybe compiling this will solve problem with non standard characters, as described below. # I changed attached zip file [mpc*.zip != mc*.zip; added some lines in Readme.txt]. Quote:
Who wants to use mc? It is running on my iLiad. Nice for viewing/editing files on the go. I will post a installation package tomorrow or so. You will need a USB keyboard [matchbox keyboard hasn't got Fn or ESC keys] & shell app like mrxvt. screenshots: # mrxvt mc session # mrxvt mc session [maximized mrxvt window] Last edited by yokos; 03-12-2008 at 12:59 PM.

I love mc, and as with Alexander it is one of the first things I install wherever I can. It is great to have it on the iliad. It looks great! I don't have an external keyboard (yet).
One thing I noticed is that when clicking on (for example) the F2 key or the menu at the top I sometimes have to activate the builtin keybaord to get that key press to register or the screen to refresh. I'm not sure if this is a typeahead issue, or something that could be tweaked. I must say I am impressed with this. Ah, it seems I'm not allowe to give you more karma just yet. You'll have to ease up on the clever stuff for a while |

Yepp, I need to press a key [=event for refresh] from time to time to see some entries. *I have compiled aterm, but it doesn't start, because of a font problem. |

With some apps, a stylus tap anywhere in the window will refresh. I'm not sure if that is the case with mrxvt though.
