There are no "hard drives" on Linux. There are places you go to often,
and that's what hotlist is for (ctrl+\). I added hotkeys to this
hotlist and made it appear on alt+f1/f2 in addition to ctrl+\, and
this works very well for me. My hotlist contains entries for the CD
mount dir, network locations, etc., in addition to my often-used
project directories. I will update these (and other) patches for the
current CVS as soon as I find a bit of time for this.

More knowledgeable people will likely comment on this, but I think
this requires embedding the shell into mc which is planned for 4.7
(according to TODO). I very much look forward to this, too.

It is saved, at least it works for me.

This is done already, except that you have to press alt+s and then
type your string without alt. I got used to this and find that it's
even more convenient than the old way, if only because you can press
alt+s while typing again and this will take you to the next match, and
because typing without having to hold alt is easier on my fingers.
Also this frees a whole lot of other alt+letter keys that can be put
to better use :)
