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.
