[mc-devel] [PATCH v2 2/3] Ticket #4597: recognize CSI u encoding for ctrl-o

[Johannes Altmanninger]

If a subshell (like fish 4.0) wishes to use "Disambiguate control keys"
from https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/keyboard-protocol/, ctrl-o sends
a multi-byte sequence.  Let's make sure we can intercept that too so
we can suspend the shell.

Note that the shell already disables "Disambiguate control keys"
while it's suspended, so no other changes should be necessary.

Unfortunately there is one bug left: when I start "SHELL=$(which
fish) mc" and type `ctrl-o`, fish does not recognize CSI u bindings
(such as `bind ctrl-2 'echo hello'`) yet.  It only works after the
second prompt.  I haven't had time to figure that out.
