Oops, sorry, that is my fault.

ctrl-x is removed only in editor. In file manager in main branch
(mc-4.8.0-pre2), it works as before. When I backported #2586 to stable branch,
I removed by mistake the key binding to ExtMap1 action in [main] section
instead of EditExtMode action in [editor] section. And EditExtMode is absent
in keymap file. That is another bug.

Surely.

You can edit /etc/mc/mc.keymap to restore the ctrl-x behaviour in file manager:
ExtMap1 = ctrl-x

Thank you for the bugreport.
