Mouse support is
excellent; click any menu at the top to see your choices. Along the bottom are the F-key
bindings: pressing F1 brings up the Help file, F2 displays a context-sensitive menu of
choices for the selected file or directory, and so on.
To copy a set of documents with the .odt extension from ~/Documents to a directory on
a remote server called /backup/mikemc, follow these steps:
1. In the left pane, use the arrow keys to navigate to the /Documents directory. Press
Enter to open this directory.
2. Tab to the right pane. At the bottom of the Midnight Commander, you will see a
flashing cursor. This is a shell prompt. Type cd /backup/mikemc to navigate to this
directory. You could use the parent folders, marked .., to find the directory, but this
is faster.
3. Tab back to the left pane. Press Alt-+ to open the Select Group dialog. Type *.odt
and press Enter to select all files with the .odt extension.
4. Press F5 to open the Copy dialog box. Confirm that the correct files are going to the
correct directory. Select any options you want by navigating with the Tab key and
selecting with the spacebar.
