I have tried various mc versions (3.x, 4.x), compiled a 4.0.6 version (which gave a >2MB binary..), and finally obtained v4.0 from packages-current. I also tried a termcap database provided with mc and generated terminfo. Anyway, all mc versions still have the bug.

The other keys do not work. Oh, yes, that is because nobody has written the freebsd equivalents for detecting if the control key is pressed. =========END FORWARDED MESSAGE========= The Enter key works in text mode sessions, so I think the problem has something to do with FreeBSD's XFree86 port. As specific documentation is not actually available, I am not able to resolve the problem myself (the more annoying as, since old XT days, I got used to the NumPads cursor keys _and_ the Enter key - instead of Return). Can anybody help me? Torsten Kuehn
