The exact same thing happened to me. :-)

Even now, I'm finding new ways to use mc more productively.
My latest discovery was figuring out I can edit /usr/share/mc/cedit.menu
and put whole program templates into a file with 3 button presses.
touch myfile
F4 on myfile
F11
g or h or i

and I have a perfect perl template for what I'm trying to do.
