Just for the record: After 16 months of utter awkwardness involving C-B, C-F, C-N, C-P and more (which made me escape mc for many tasks), mc-4.7.0.3-1 has fixed this issue entirely and satisfactory. The update happened as a part of a lengthy update-all, so I am not sure if the change was actually caused by mc or e. g. ncurses. Anyway, cursor keys move the cursor around again as expected (in both xterm and Terminal.app), and now even C-SPACE works to calculate disk usage of selected items, which I cannot recall ever working before in fink's mc. Hurray!
Whoever fixed it, thank you for this update. It has made my day.
