Actually, single ESC works as "Suspend" in the CVS version of MC.  But 
it's rather a bug than a feature.

I don't think that ESC should suspend the search.  This button is 
traditionally used to close the current dialog in the text-based 
interfaces.

I'm adding it to my TODO list, but it basically means nothing.  I'm now to
busy even to reply to the personal e-mails fast.  If you or somebody else
make a patch that won't require hours to understand and recheck, I'll
gladly apply it.
