You are really late. Xterm is obsolete. Midnight Commander is useless.

Hey lackey!  What more could you fucking need?

Than Midnight Commander? It's too heavy. It's faster to use ls, cd and
the old good commands with a good use of history. I'm pretty sure the
only way in which you are using your history file is with your arrow
keys.

 Agreed, but it is nice to have a tui progressbar when copying a ton of
files (yes i know you can use rsync but that doesn't give overall
progress i think).
It's also nice to copy files from different folders into one without
copypasting a lot.
 

Than Xterm? A lot. Unlike you, I don't want to use my mouse when I'm
using my terminal. So xterm is deprecated.

But when I can, I'd rather use Kitty which provides more possibilities. The
possibility to open the result of a command directly in vim is great.
The possibility to open a file following a link thanks to a shortcut is
great.

 I enjoy urxvt, but Alacritty was also a pretty good terminal.
 

But the REAL MAN, the POTENT MAN, only requires xterm
and Midnight Commander to accomplish his digital miracles.

The last time you provided a video of your limitations, you weren't able
to use Midnight Commander. To find a file with your shortcuts, you
didn't used xterm and Midnight Commander, but your mouse to open a
graphical text editor to copy its result in your terminal. So by your
own definition, you are not a real man a potent man or anything at all
but a lackey of your mouse.
