.SH " Learn keys"
This dialog lets you test if your keys F1-F20, Home, End, etc. work properly
on your terminal. They often don't, since many terminal databases are
broken.
This dialog allows you to test and redefine functional keys, cursor
arrows and some other keys to make them work properly on your terminal.

You can move around with the Tab key, with the vi moving keys ('h' left, 'j'
down, 'k' up and 'l' right) and after you press any arrow key once (this
will mark it OK), then you can use that key as well.

key and it is recognized, you can use that key as well.

You test them just by pressing each of them. As soon as you press a key and
the key works properly, OK should appear next to the name of that key. Once
a key is marked OK it starts to work as usually, e.g. F1 for the first time
will just check that F1 works OK, but from that time on it will show help.
The same applies to the arrow keys. Tab key should be working always.

If some keys do not work properly, then you won't see OK after the key name
after you have pressed that key. You may then want to fix it. You do it by
pressing the button of that key (either by mouse or using Tab and Enter).
Then a red message will appear and you will be asked to type that key.
If you want to abort this, press just Esc and wait until the message
disappears. Otherwise type the key you're asked to type and also wait until
the dialog disappears.
If some keys do not work properly then you won't see OK appear after
pressing that key. Then you may want to redefine it. Do it by pressing
the button with the name of that key (either by the mouse or by Enter
or Space after selecting the button with Tab or arrows). Then a message
box will appear asking you to press that key. Do it and wait until the
message box disappears. If you want to abort, just press Escape once
and wait.
.PP
When you finish with all the keys, you may want either to Save your key fixes
into your ~/.mc/ini file into the [terminal:TERM] section (where TERM is the
name of your current terminal) or to discard them. If all your keys were
working properly and you had not to fix any key, then (of course) no saving
will occur.
When you finish with all the keys, you can Save them. The definitions
for the keys you have redefined will be written into the [terminal:TERM]
section of your ~/.mc/ini file (where TERM is the name of your current
terminal). The definitions of the keys that were already working properly
are not saved.
