This alone was the game changer. Nothing else necessary. Now everything 
works perfectly.


Instead of [filemanager] my keymap had [main]. Maybe from an older mc 
version.



# unbind a key (was: Help = f1)
Help =
# bind f1 to the new action
HotList = f1
# bind ctrl-f to the new action
Find = ctrl-f

[input]
# unbind ctrl-f (was: Right = right; alt-right; ctrl-f)


I have removed all additional keys, making Left = left, Right =  right etc.


Right = right; alt-right

Unfortunately, after that ctrl-f will not work in all input lines.


What would I try to achieve now with ctrl-f in input lines?

Thanks a lot for making my keys work again.

Yes, it isn't necessary.

Before bind a key to another action you should unbind it.
f1 key is bound to for Help action.
ctrl-f is bound to Right action in the command line, which is input line.

Please create ~/.config/mc/mc.keymap with following content:

[filemanager]
# unbind a key (was: Help = f1)
Help =
# bind f1 to the new action
HotList = f1
# bind ctrl-f to the new action
Find = ctrl-f

[input]
# unbind ctrl-f (was: Right = right; alt-right; ctrl-f)
Right = right; alt-right

Unfortunately, after that ctrl-f will not work in all input lines.

P.S. I really appreciate your work on mc. I came to mc directly from DOS 
Norton Commander n the end of the 90s and have it used ever since in 
whatever Linux/Unix installation. It is, together with bash and sed one 
of the programmes I always ensure to have and I always compile myself.

Henning,

it will not touch your other problems but i have german 
utf8-xfce4-terminal and german latin1-putty terminals running. In both 
cases ctrl-\ works in mc calling hotlist. First pressing ctrl, then add 
altgr and then the ß?-key right from 0 on a german keybord.


Your P.S. could be written by me...
