When mc runs in forked shell, like script, the ctrl-ins keys in mcedit

not?

Could it be because of some sort of key binding problem within the
terminal?

I have tested mcedit (run inside "script" and also by direct call) on
wheezy from gnome-terminal and xterm and "ctrl+ins" seems to do
nothing but F3/F5 still does the mark/paste work :-?


Right. F3/F5 still select/copy within the file, but ctrl-ins does not
copy to cooledit.clip, it does nothing.

In the man I find only that it is supposed to work, but the man is huge
(3337 lines). This is not something new, I don't ever remember it
working. I would like to know why.

I had never used mcedit so tried it on Wheezy with version 3:4.7.0.9-2. I used mrxvt for the test.

Used Ctrl-ins to copy a line then Shift-ins to paste it somewhere else.
Works here as discribed in the man page.

I thenm treid it in an xterm and it did not work. As mentioned in the man page these do not work in some terminals so they covered all the bases.

In addition to that, Shift combined with arrows does text highlighting (if supported by the terminal): Ctrl-Ins copies to the file ~/.mc/cedit/cooledit.clip, Shift-Ins pastes from ~/.mc/cedit/cooledit.clip, Shift-Del cuts to ~/.mc/cedit/cooledit.clip, and Ctrl-Del deletes highlighted text. Mouse highlighting also works on some terminals. To use the standard mouse support provided by your terminal, hold the Shift key. Please note that the mouse support in the terminal
       doesn't share the clipboard with mcedit.
