All my installations are en_US. Any support any of them may have for anything else escaped my notice and intent. For many years, regardless of distro or version, shifted function keys running MC have usually varied according to whether it is running in X, or on tty[1-6]. In every case of unshifted, F5 is copy and F6 is Move, with both assuming *to* opposing pane. Always when shift is applied to F5/F6, and MC is running in X, instead of assuming copy/move *to* opposite pane, the current filename is presented for editing. On tty[1-6], the most common behavior has always been that copy/move with name for editing is found with Shift-F3/Shift-F4 instead of Shift-F5/Shift-F6. Occasionally I've run across behavior on tty[1-6] being Shift-F3=view, Shift-F4=edit, Shift-F5=copy to editname, and Shift-F6=move to editname. Now on one 13.2 installation (host gx280) I've again stumbled onto a case of the latter behavior. Because of the activity in thread "box characters not used by ncurses" I looked here at output from locale and found LC_CTYPE unset (everything else either null or "POSIX"), unlike on most openSUSE installations here where LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8. On most of my non-openSUSE installations, all locale output is either en_US.UTF-8 or null, while on most of my openSUSE installations, most locale output is "POSIX", with one or more entries null, and LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8. What's going on here in openSUSE using POSIX for most but not all, and occasionally leaving LC_CTYPE unset, while other times LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8? Where does LC_CTYPE ever get set? What does one need to do to keep MC keystrokes same on ttys as in X? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
