The ESC+number=function key mapping is documented in the mc faq:
---------
If all else fails you can emulate function keys by first pressing the
ESC key and then one of the number keys. For example, if you want to
produce F9, press ESC, then 9. If you don't have a ESC key on your
keyboard you can try alt-9 or meta-9.
---------
Mappings are done in the terminfo databases. You can disassemble them
with infocmp. For explanation of the terminal capabilities, see the
terminfo(5) man page. You can modifiy the disassembled one to suit your
needs,and recompile it using tic.
