A number of custom shortcuts stopped working after upgrade from 4.8.23 to 4.8.27

[DKroot]

I'm using mc primarily on Linux with a number of custom shortcuts defined in ~/.config/mc/mc.keymap. After upgrading from 4.8.23 to 4.8.27, a number of them stopped working. Here are the ones that stopped:

[main]
HotList = f12
DirSize = ctrl-l
Find = f17 # Shift-F7
Select = ctrl-a
PanelInfo = alt-i
CompareFiles = f11

To make sure, this is a regression, I downgraded to 4.8.7 (the last available version in Red Hat repos) and, sure enough, the shortcuts are working again.

I can reproduce the issue on macOS / 4.8.27 and I'm reporting it for the macOS version:

Please rename sections in your mc.keymap:

main -> filemanager
main:xmap -> filemanager:xmap

This worked. Thanks!
