# Midnight Commander Cheat Sheet (Richard)

## Launch
```bash
mc
```

## Best starting folders
- OpenClaw workspace: `/root/.openclaw/workspace`
- Website root: `/srv/www/kennington.us/public`
- Google Drive incoming work: `/root/.openclaw/workspace/incoming-gdrive`
- Email scripts: `/root/.openclaw/workspace/email-workflow`
- Memory files: `/root/.openclaw/workspace/memory`

## Fast navigation flow
- Left panel: `/root/.openclaw/workspace`
- Right panel: `/srv/www/kennington.us/public/files`

## 12 keys you’ll actually use
1. `Tab` switch panel
2. `Enter` open folder
3. `Backspace` up one folder
4. `F3` view file
5. `F4` edit file
6. `F5` copy
7. `F6` move/rename
8. `F7` make folder
9. `F8` delete
10. `F9` top menu
11. `F10` quit
12. `Insert` mark files

If function keys fail: use `Esc` + number (example: `Esc` then `5` for F5).

## Common jobs

### Publish a file to website files folder
1. Left panel: file in `/root/.openclaw/workspace`
2. Right panel: `/srv/www/kennington.us/public/files`
3. Highlight file on left
4. Press `F5`, then Enter

### Edit website homepage quickly
