Midnight Commander opens up a new subshell at start which you can access with CTRL+O. Thing is this subshell will on certain shells like zsh make `mc` sluggish or freeze. A quick fix is to disable that subshell if you don't use it that often. Just add this to your `.zshrc` file ```bash alias mc="mc --nosubshell" ``` This will greatly improve mc's speed.
