Using ESC 1 thru ESC 9 and ESC 0 ...

It is worth noting that in MC you can use the key sequence

<TT>ESC 1</TT>
That is the Escape key followed by 1 - and it has the same effect as pressing F1.



Following on from that, ESC 2 for F2, ESC 3 for F3 and so on. ESC 0 (zero) is the same as F10.


This is useful when using mc through ssh and similar and the function keys are not mapped out as you would expect...
