Dear Maintainer,

I am trying to modify the Shell keybind from midnight commander.

So I did the following:

    cp /etc/mc/mc.keymap ~/.config/mc/

And edited all occurrences of "Shell = ctrl-o" to another keybiding (I
tested with several others), e.g. "Shell = alt-q"

Now, when I open mc and I type alt-q, it hides the panel and go to the
prompt shell, but if I hit alt-q again nothing happens, I need to hit ctrl-o to
make the panel to appear again, but I removed all occurrences of ctrl-o
from ~/.config/mc/mc.keymap, so it seems that ctrl-o is hardcoded
somewhere else.

Hi I have the same problem like Helen.

I've encountered the error also for e.g. "Menu" and "View". If I set
custom binding they will not work.

I am getting the error on Debian Buster and on a fresh Debian Bullseye
(minimal, only systemtools) Installation.
