Instead of modifying system-wide key map, you can rebind keys in your
~/.config/mc/mc.keymap file. In your case:

Note: since EditNew is bound in /etc/mc/mc.keymap, you should unbind it
in ~/.config/mc/mc.keymap.

==========================================
$ cat ~/.config/mc/mc.keymap
[filemanager]
EditForceInternal = f14

[panel]
EditNew =
==========================================

After changing keymap, you must restart mc.
