Re: Alt+function keys and other keys

[Miguel Pérez <wiseman1024 gmail com>]

What I wonder is why even on the reference terminal xterm, some key escape sequences aren't even recognized, including simple enough ones such as ctrl-f1 or alt-f1.

A possible way to fix all of this could be to allow raw character sequences to be assigned to commands in mc.keymap, such as

    PanelSortOrderByName = \eO5P

though this would make it more difficult to use. The best solution would be to properly support all escape sequences.
