Then it works for you and only for you.  Other users cannot benefit from
this change.

They are not empty placeholders.  F14 opens a new editor window when the
panels are active.  F17 continues search in the viewer and the editor.

Already in CVS.

I don't think mc could have written this.  Those keys are not redefinable
now.

Besides, to process double escape reliably, mc should check modifiers
using X Window System (i.e. double escape without Alt is escape, double
escape with Alt is a start of a sequence), which is currently disabled by
default due to a problem with the current implementation that requires
linking mc against libX11.
