I agree with you,
but I thing he meant only, that help bar ideally should reflect kbd
mappings, whatever they are (I don't know if F10 and F5 will be
functional too, if remapped)...

Amen to Chris. Though I do not know if the post below was from a
developer or from an individual user. But I would say that the key
mappings of MC are so well established by long tradition that they
really ought not to be messed with. And in particular things like
Cntrl-C really do have long established meanings of their own, which
even pre-date both Midnight Commander and its long-ago ancestor Norton
Commander and are used in those old meanings in many other contexts,
too. For example in my mail program Cntrl-C means "Cancel" whatever one
was doing, which is essentially what Cntrl-C always used to mean.

Remapping COPY from F5 to Ctrl-C
is a disaster.
Since the 70s orignal DOS NortonComndr,
through linux, Win, Android.
<=> F5
In ALL computing Ctrl-C has a SPECIAL meaning.
Don't map concepts to the current ENGLISH word,
unless it's for some strangely disabled user.

Hello,
I made a few changes to the Midnight Commander keybindings, namely I
mapped
copy to ctrl-c and quit to ctrl-q. However, the help bar on the bottom
still shows copy as F5 and quit as F10; how do I fix this problem?
Thanks,
Hunter
