Came to post zoxide. Also if you use `ranger`[1] (vim inspired file manager) then you might like to add the `ranger-zoxide` plugin[2].

How to have column view like macOS finder ?
This feature is rarely seen in Linux file managers. I would recommend the CLI file manager ranger. If you need a GUI tool, you should have a look at pantheon files, the file manager of ElementaryOS.

Which file explorer do you use?
It adapts ranger in neovim. It is very cool to have so much control, plus the previews.

Use Midnight Commander like a pro (2015)
Depends on the archive type and how the vfs/extfs code was implemented for it¹. It also depends on how the archive is treated if it is compressed container, which can be seen by looking at how a .tar and .tar.xz are handled for example. The zip handler is probably the easiest to understand, as it doesn't need to contend with external compression wrappers and is a simple perl script.
Implementing your own extfs scripts to wrap a simple menu around some task can be really useful, far beyond basic archives. I wrote one so that I can shuffle my todo list priorities by moving fake "task files" in to different pseudo-directories.

CTRL key stuck in Midnight Commander in 22.04
I will consider a bug report, too bad you can't submit a ticket via github.

Former Xamarin co-founder Miguel de Icaza is leaving Microsoft
I really love how relative this feels, as for me "creator of mc¹" feels like the thing I owe him most thanks for. Every now and then I work on a project that is built on the foundations from mono, but all day I work in a way that uses mc.
