The killer feature in mc was the popup menu that you could configure to run several commands on the selected files. And if memory serves it could be customized on a global or directory specific way.

I didn’t use mc much back in the day, but I do use Emacs dired a ton these days. Specially for applying command line utilities to a bunch of files. https://xenodium.com/how-i-batch-apply-and-save-one-liners

"was"? People still use it. Like a lot. I'm surprised

Which menu is that? I never tried it. Been an MC user since 1997.

It is bound by default to F2, look at the "Edit Menu File" section here:
