Re: mcedit behavior under X

Hi,
The mcedit man-page has the following:
"In addition to that, Shift combined with arrows does text
highlighting (if supported by the terminal): Ctrl-Ins copies to the file
~/.mc/cedit/cooledit.clip, Shift-Ins pastes from
~/.mc/cedit/cooledit.clip, Shift-Del cuts to ~/.mc/cedit/cooledit.clip,
and Ctrl-Del deletes highlighted text. Mouse highlighting also works on
some terminals."
That is true for me on a VT console, i.e. non-X. But under X Ctrl-Ins
copies to the file ~/.mc/cedit/cooledit.clip but Shift-Ins *does not*
paste from ~/.mc/cedit/cooledit.clip, but from the cliboard.
Can anyone verify that behavior? How would I make mcedit behave as it
ought to?
I have asked that question before:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=ia#!topic/linux.debian.user/48-BTjdzAy4
but apparently paid no attention because Camaleon had the answer in a mc
ticket:
https://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/2358
so when I change the shortcuts of konsole and delete ctrl+ins and
shift+ins then it works.
But something weird: for shift+ins (paste from cooledit.clip) and
shift+del (cuts to cooledit.clip) I have to turn on numlock!
This is on a US keyboard.
