What should work..  If you select Windows Explorer styled seup at first startup it should have configured that for you

Is the CustomKeymappings.xml file in config updated when you save keys ?

there are two xml files actually :
WindowsExplorer-Keyboard-CustomKeymappings   last modified jan 2016
CommanderStyle-Keyboard-CustomKeymappings    last modified feb 2021
so none of them really updates  (I save keymapping daily) 

Perhaps I forgot to set 'windows explorer style' at installation. Is there a way to do it now ?

That are not user config files.. that are the settings template files that are used depending on what quick settings you select.

Type ":goconfig" in the command line field and it will take you to the user config folder (or Help > Go To > Config Folder)

I have the same issue, I rebind `View - Refresh` to something else, and it seems to stay after closing MC and launching it again, then next day (maybe when rebooted) it is back to F2, conflicting with rename
