This problem is persistent over several releases of OpenBSD and on multiple i386 computers, both desktop and laptop:

In the OpenBSD version of Midnight Commander (mc), the function keys do not work properly. I get these results from selecting the keys:

F1:  11~
F2:  12~
F3:  13~
F4:  14~
F5:  15~
F6:  (tries to do what F5 key should do, copy file or dir)
F7:  (tries to do what F6 key should do, rename/move file)
F8:  (tries to do what F7 key should do, create new dir)
F9:  (tries to do what F8 key should do, delete file or dir) DANGEROUS!!
F10: (tries to do what F9 key should do, accesses top menu bar)
F11: 23~
F12: 24~

1.) Does anyone know what the problem is?
2.) Is anyone working on a fix?

I consider mc to be incredibly useful, especially when in console mode, it is very disappointing that I can not use it (properly). Indeed, I have never found any utility which even comes close to doing what mc does.
