I haven't installed X Window System yet on my operating system.

Here is how MC behave when I press the '-' character that is on the
place on the keyboard where '\' character stand on an English keyboard:
it gives to me the 'Unselect a group of files' dialog. The same dialog
can I get pressing AltGr+Q.

On the other hand when I get first the '|' character pressing AltGr+W in 
MC then after that I can get '\' in MC by pressing AltGr+Q:

Here is a part of MC pasted:
