Midnight Commander: how to enable filter-as-you-type behavior

Question

Basically looking for a feature similar to Total Commander filter-as-you-type.

Answer 1

Isn't the quick search suitable for your need? If i'm not wrong alt+s will show the "quick search" in Midnight Commander but can't check it right now.

Answer 2

After pressing Alt+s, you can use the asterisk (*) sign to find the file by pattern. For example, *data finds the file "discrete_data.csv"

Answer 3

Hide command line from option menu (Options > Layout > Other Options > Command prompt). Then Alt + S auto show if type any char.
