Amen to Chris. Though I do not know if the post below was from a developer or from an individual user. But I would say that the key mappings of MC are so well established by long tradition that they really ought not to be messed with. And in particular things like Cntrl-C really do have long established meanings of their own, which even pre-date both Midnight Commander and its long-ago ancestor Norton Commander and are used in those old meanings in many other contexts, too. For example in my mail program Cntrl-C means "Cancel" whatever one was doing, which is essentially what Cntrl-C always used to mean.
