3136	"Numpad 5 (""Begin"") freezes mc for a while"	egmont		"With numlock off, press the numpad 5. It is supposed to do nothing. Instead, it makes mc freeze for a second or two, not accepting any keyboard input.

Same happens with Ctrl + function keys under xterm, and probably other key combos too.

mc should recognize out of the box all the escape sequences that keys can generate with the most typical hardware, os, terminal emulator combinations and quietly ignore them so that it does not block on them. At least the numpad 5, because that's a single key, one can very easily accidentally hit it without any modifiers, and expect not to have to wait for seconds to continue the work.

Ideally there should also be a way (in config file, and preferably in the Learn Keys dialog too) to teach mc an arbitrary number of escapes that it recognizes but ignores."	defect	new	minor		mc-tty	4.8.11			gotar@…			no branch
