Hi,

to end this i did some testing, at least on my OpenSuse Linux it's like 
that:

Macros are stored in .local/share/mc/mc.macros
Mcedit Macros are stored in a [editor] section one line per macro like that:
	f12=Down:-1;InsertChar:49;...

Typed chars are shown as "InsertChar:49;" (the ascii code), keys are 
named as "Down:-1" above, the "-1" maybe just to have a value after the 
":"...

If you use "sudo mcedit" or "sudo mc" and then "mcedit", the 
.local/share/mc/mc.macros of the Admin is used to store.

To delete a macro simply delete the line (but the macro is active until 
you end this mc session (so if you use sudo mc and then from this 
mcedit, it's not forgotten until you end the mc session, not just by 
closing mcedit...
