First, looks like I was a bit too optimistic. Alt-Fkeys can be enabled in this way, but ctrl-insert cannot because "learned key" for ctrl-insert is actually the same as insert.

It's not really a change - just a configuration setting to make it more useable for _me_. And now that this is published here in the list, other users can similarly reconfigure their copies of the program as they please. Until we have a way to define keymaps via a config file, we'll have to live with having to hack the source, because changing key bindings is actually one of the most basic configuration needs. > > However, if the F11-F20 are just empty placeholders, I would love to see > > them called in a more intuitive fashion.

Great idea, I will now "learn" shift-f4 as f14 so it opens a new editor window - I missed this a lot. Other F-teens, however, such as F12, are not used by mc by default and therefore can be used exactly thus - as placeholders. > > for example: > > alt-f7: \e\e[18~ > > ctrl-insert: \e[2~ > > I don't think mc could have written this.

I don't dare to dream about the ability to distinguish between, say, plain insert and keypad-insert (as Emacs does) but what about just plain old ctrl-insert? -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup can be enabled in this way, but ctrl-insert cannot because "learned key" for ctrl-insert is actually the same as insert. > > Yes, but I can define reread to be called by F17 in the source, > > recompile, and then define Ctrl-Insert to be F17.
