mcedit: usage of Ctrl-Home, Shift-arrows, Ctrl-Insert and similar keys

Hello everybody,

It is a great feature of mcedit to support Ctrl-Home,
Shift-arrows,
Ctrl-Insert+Shift-Insert on the Linux console. But I would
like to
have these keys in mcedit running in a text terminal
session.

I'm using Putty (v 0.58), OpenSuse Linux 10.1, here is
output of
mc -V

GNU Midnight Commander 4.6.1
Virtual File System: tarfs, extfs, cpiofs, ftpfs, fish,
undelfs
With builtin Editor
Using system-installed S-Lang library with terminfo database
With subshell support as default
With support for background operations
With mouse support on xterm and Linux console
With support for X11 events
With internationalization support
With multiple codepages support

I've tried different terminal-types in putty:
"xterm", "putty" (defined in
/etc/termcap) and "linux" (to use it "The
Function keys and keypad" radiobutton in Putty changed
to "linux").
It means TERM variable was "xterm",
"putty", "linux".
Nothing helps.

Any suggestion how to get these keys working in a terminal?
Does it helps to use another terminal program?

best regards
Dmitri

I think MC should use a configuration file where you can
(re)define
keys for anything - not just the Learn Keys window, and some
way to
configure special keys which only work on the console, so
that you can
use any key combination in the console, and attempt them or
redefine
them to something else for terminals.

What you are trying to do won't work when you're using
putty.
MC uses linux specific ioctls to read the keyboard modifier
state on the linux console or queries the X server when
possible. In your case neither of those method won't work.

Thank you Pavel!
It means on a proper X terminal it works.
Is there any recommendations about X terminal and settings
for MC?
