Ok, I just need Total Commander 'quick search' feature to be enabled. How can I do it?

Alt+S will show the "quick search" in Midnight Commander.

Thanks! Can I turn this on by default (so I won't need to press extra Alt-S to begin searhing and maybe another key combiantion to focus on command line)?– jonnyMar 10, 2010 at 14:16

1Awesome. Unfortunately it only searches the beginning of the name. Sep 21, 2017 at 13:14

What I really want is this behavior, but in addition pressing Arrow right to enter shell mode. It's like this in Total Commander on windows. Jan 24, 2021 at 18:12

@TheStoryCoder if you use "*" as the first character in the search, it will also search within names :-)– RegiszJun 17, 2021 at 13:04

@Regisz Oh nice, didn't even think of that. If I only press * as the beginning character though it will just select all my files, but if I press space and then * it works :) Jun 18, 2021 at 13:18
