I don't think it's a terminal issue. To verify that I mapped the
commands alt-i and alt-o to Up and Down. There keys are definitely
interpreted by MC. What I did:

[panel]
Down = ctrl-j; alt-i
Up = ctrl-k; alt-o

and I removed all other bindings to ctrl-j, ctrl-k, alt-i and alt-o.
The result:

ctrl-j  - prints the highlighted file name on the terminal
ctrl-k  - apparently nothing
alt-i   - usual mapping (change directory of other panel)
alt-o   - moved the cursor *DOWN* (Note: it is mapped to âUpâ)

I can't make sense of this behaviour. This seems not
terminal-related. Correct me if I'm wrong.

What is the proper way of unbinding? Deleting the entire entry,
setting it empty (e.g. Down = )?
