We already went through this once. This is entirely incorrect, all the keys
are reconfigurable, and while I haven't looked at LIST, I already know that
it can't do the most useful functions that mc has
(VFS, undelete fs, etc)

Sorry, I thought you knew :-)
Yes, I've been using mc since version 1.x, back in 94 or so, and of course
everything was text, and still is now.
While I use mc  in text all day long, I've never  used the graphical version
more than 2 minutes.
