I use mc 4.1.36 (C) ported to windows(I use Vista). I would love to be able to navigate through the list of directories that I've previously visited using the drop-down except that I don't know how to invoke it. This version of mc i use does not have support for mouse. So, what is the KEY that will invoke this drop-down behavior ? Years ago, by accident, I invoked it but I forgot to document it.

If you like text-mode file managers for Windows, a far more capable one than MC (which I love and use on Linux), is [NDN](http://ndn.muxe.com). Plenty of shortcuts, and they just work, out of the box. – Dan Dascalescu Mar 06 '14 at 06:05

According to the Midnight Commander docs in the default shortcuts for file panel actions:
+--------------+--------+----------------------------------+
| History | Alt-H | show the directory history |
+--------------+--------+----------------------------------+
| HistoryNext | Alt-u | move to the next directory |
| | | in the history |
+--------------+--------+----------------------------------+
| HistoryPrev | Alt-y | move to the previous directory |
| | | in the history |
+--------------+--------+----------------------------------+
Alt-H in this case is an abbreviation of Alt-Shift-h
