FYI: This combination:
- MC compiled against S-Lang, - S-Lang version 2.3.1 (or older), - terminfo (ncurses) version 6.1 (or newer), - TERM=xterm-256color breaks the arrow keys and probably much more. This is because slang reads the binary terminfo files manually, rather than via libtinfo, and ncurses-6.1 switched to a new binary format for some of its files (including xterm-256color but not xterm). Solution: - Upgrade to S-Lang pre2.3.2-19 or newer - Downgrade to ncurses/terminfo 6.0 or older Workaround: - export TERM=xterm But most importantly, anyone encountering this should immediately notify their distribution, pointing them to e.g. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-ncurses/2018-01/msg00053.html . This is not a bug in Midnight Commander, nor in the terminal emulator. cheers, egmont
