There was a hotkey conflict between "SFTP link" and "Filter": "F" was used in 
both items[1].

Change of hotkey for "Filter" was impossible, because all letters "ilter" are 
used
in this menu. From the other hand, almost all letters "stplink" are used too.
Only "k" is free. "o" in "Sort order" was free too.

Hotkeys are defined in the source code and cannot be changed via any 
configuration
options.

Only "k" can be used for that.

MC 4.8.28 main menu hotkeys

[Paul Marwick via mc]

I'm using the Arch build of MC 4.8.28. Everything works fine, but I do 
have a problem with the main menu settings, and I'm wondering if there 
is a way to change the hotkeys for them.


My specific problem is the change in the left or right menu, where "S" 
was the key for sort order. I use the menus and hotkeys, and quite 
frequently use the list sort option. Normally, I would hit F9  S, 
then select the type of sort I need. So now I key ending up attempting 
to make an SFTP connection to something. Not very useful


To make matters worse, I frequently use MC on remote servers. Since most 
of them are either CentOS or Ubuntu based, they all use older versions 
of MC, where the F9very quickly, alternating between the current MC and an older version.


Is it possible to change the hotkey for those menu entries? I've had a 
look at the configuration files and can't see an option, but I don't 
really want to modify the source to revert to the older behaviour (and 
find another hotkey for the SFTP option).
