Try to contact them and ask to make Shift-Fx keys match the default
sequences in the kernel.  It's not very likely to work - they've had
plenty of time to do it.

Contact Linux Standard Base and make a standard for Linux console
sequences on PC keyboards.  Then apply pressure to LCT maintainers.

Both are very long term solutions.  A short term solution would be to
include some code from dumpkeys in mc to read the actual escape sequences
when mc runs on Linux console.
