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.
