How can I perform a command on the selected items ?
for example calling vim, or gimp for the 5 text or image files selected.
I tried to make use of the inlined command line at the bottom, but it doesn't take my selection into account
files mc

Press F2 for user menu and then choose Do something on tagged files or press @. In popup window you can provide your command.
It is important to notice that for each file command will be executed separately. It will be something like:
for file in files:
COMMAND file
not
COMMAND file1 file2
