Question #1

How to get the same panels easily in Midnight Commander?

Example
Say you are in /etc/security on the right panel. You want to see the same directory on the left panel but you don't want to type cd /etc/security. Hell, how to do that?

Answer
In your .bashrc:

alias cpc='PWD_LAC=`pwd`'
alias cdc='cd $PWD_LAC'

Usage:
From the example above: type cpc (+ Enter) on the right side. Go to the left panel, and type cdc (+ Enter).

How to remember that:
cpc -- copy path to clipboard
cdc -- cd to the dir. on the clipboard

Question #2

In the shell I want to find myself in the directory where I quit from mc. How to do that?

Example
In shell, you are in the root (/) directory. You start mc and you go to /home. You quit, and in the shell you fall back to the root, though you'd love to stay in /home.

Answer
In your .bashrc:

alias mc='. /usr/share/mc/bin/mc-wrapper.sh'
