I wouldn't worry to much about unbound keys.

Of course I know that.

Yes, I quoted a wrong pice of code. The events in the GNOME edition are
CK_Paragraph_Up_Highlight and CK_Paragraph_Down_Highlight - move one
paragraph up or down and change the selection.

This corresponds to the binding for Ctrl-Up and Ctrl-Down that move to the
paragraph boundary and the convention that Shift activates selection.

The text edition scrolls the text without moving the cursor on Ctrl-Up and
Ctrl-Down. It's bound to Alt-Up and Alt-Down in gtkedit. I understand that
Alt-Up and Alt-Down are very hard to use in the text edition (if at all
possible).

Indeed, if Ctrl-Up scrolls and Shift selects then Ctrl-Shift-Up should
scroll and select. Consistency _within_ the edition is more important than
consistency between the editions.

I'm applying the rest of your patch. Too bad we spent so much time
writing each other and arguing without need. Please don't hesitate to
comment your patches in more details next time. Also you may want to learn

> P.S. Should I Cc mc gnome org or mc-devel gnome org for these messages?

Simple rule - if the discussion involves patches or references to certain
pieces of code it belongs to mc-devel gnome org  Otherwise - mc gnome org
