Maybe your mc was compiled without X11 support or you don't have DISPLAY
variable defined.  As I said, the code is incomplete.  It's impossible to
put modifiers to the config files yet.  They only can be hardcoded in
src/key.c or read from the OS or X11.

If you want Ctrl-Insert and don't have a working X11 connection from mc to
your X server, apply this patch:

I see.  You are using emacs emulation.  There is no Ctrl-f equivalent in
the emacs mode (I don't know why, I didn't write that code).

Sorry, I meant Shift-F5 (which is the same as F15).
