Why surprised? Remember the Norton Commander, and also
have a look at the MC's (default) file management view.
The function keys are being _used_ in a consistent manner.

Yes, that will work. I had the same experience on the
VT-101. You can also invoke the Meta-<something> keys
using ESC, for example Meta-? = Esc ? to open the file
search dialog.

It can be switched to German - at least the "non-lite
version" has support for many languages (which I have
installed).

Sadly the translated words are too long, and the "shortening"
is quite suboptimal. It would be much better this way (same
width for each entry):

In a terminal window wider than 80 characters the full text
will be visible.

Try the following (bash syntax):
$ LC_ALL=de_DE.ISO8859-1 /usr/local/bin/mcedit -da
The interface should appear in German, but the "lite version"
is probably limited in this regards. Maybe a separate language
package could be provided for the "lite version"? Or you just
install the "non-lite version" and give that a try...
And now: "Datei umbewegen"! ;-)
