I don't use the internal editor as it buys me nothing, so I have

  use_internal_edit=0

in my ini file (~/.config/mc/ini) and

  include/editor
      Open=%var{EDITOR:less} %f

at the top of the extension file (~/.config/mc/mc.ext). In
addition, I have   EDITOR=less PAGER=less   set in bash's
invocation function.

I do use the internal viewer, so for a text file, my user-
definable keys are set to view ascii (F3), view hex (F4)
and view the output of file command (Return).

(All my files above are actually links for supporting
different Debian versions.)

Cheers,
David.
