mcedit has failed

I was editing a text file, and at one point I defined a macro for q, which
worked;

But I may have hit something else, I don't know, and mcedit fell into a
round of assertions so fast I couldn't read them go by.

I killed the shell (mcedit wasn't responding to control-c), restarted
mcedit to edit the file again and...

(1) it said there was a lock on the file and I could not save, nor could I
find a way to remove the lock;

(2) pressing return appears to run the Q macro, which is "move down a line
and delete about 20 characters."

I can't find where mcedit has its settings; I'm running MacOS Ventura
13.0.1 and mcedit 4.8.28

I've looked in:

~/.config/mc/mcedit  (empty)
~/.local/share/mc/mcedit  (empty)

Can anyone help me get mcedit back to its initial state?

TIA
