Interesting, I'm using Konsole from KDE 3.5 (KDE 3.5.10, Qt 3.3.8b, Konsole
1.6.6) which doesn't have a "konsole" map nor my terminfo database (which
came in the Ubuntu package ncurses-base 5.6+20071124-1ubuntu2) has an entry
for konsole.

In Debian, that (and gnome, etc), are in ncurses-term

/usr/share/terminfo/k/konsole-vt100
/usr/share/terminfo/k/konsole-16color
/usr/share/terminfo/k/konsole-linux
/usr/share/terminfo/k/konsole-256color
/usr/share/terminfo/k/konsole
/usr/share/terminfo/k/konsole-vt420pc
/usr/share/terminfo/k/konsole-xf4x
/usr/share/terminfo/k/konsole-base
/usr/share/terminfo/k/konsole-solaris
/usr/share/terminfo/k/konsole-xf3x

The often-presented argument that installing ncurses-term involves a large amount of diskspace loses effect when compared to a "minimal" install of KDE or GNOME (several hundred megabytes).

 I love the ability to customize keybindings in 4.7. However, I've noticed

I'm using Konsole, set to the xterm (XFree 4.x.x) keyboard, and $TERM is
xterm. These are the key combinations that produce escape sequences but

konsole doesn't send escape sequences that match xterm.
Use "infocmp konsole xterm" to see this.


...of course that's assuming that mc relies on the terminal description
(I seem to recall some discussion where it's using separate configuration
information).

Assuming that it's actually using the terminal description, e.g., from
ncurses, then mismatches would be due to (a) not using TERM=konsole, and (b)
futher mismatches might be due to differences between the current konsole
application and the ncurses description.

A quick check (using tack and TERM=konsole for konsole 2.3.2) shows no
issues.
