I found a partial solution:
Ctrl+4 (left ctrl key + "4" on main part of keyboard)
brings mc hotlist, IF running in KDE console.
Works with my Notebook Toshiba Satellite 3000-514
and this versions: SuSE-8.2/KDE-3.1.1/mc-4.6.0-336,
and also Debian-etch/KDE-3.5.1/mc-4.6.1-1.
If it works on other machines too: should be added to help files.

More satisfactory would be an additional keybinding
- I suppose ctrl+H - that works with german
keyboard layout outside of X, too.
Until now, outside of X I must use menu entry,
have no keybinding for accessing the hotlist.
Only "add to hotlist" Ctrl-X H works.

i came up with this hack - it just makes the right alt key not be 
recognized as an alt key at all.
i have no idea how to fix it properly - one'd have to ask the 
keymap whether the ralt is part of the keycode or an additional 
modifier.
hard-coding exceptions activated after a keymap query might work, 
but is utterly ugly. well, the code already has similar hacks to 
accomodate all types of terminals ...

in the linux console with a german keyboard layout, one is unable 
to get to the directory hotlist via ctrl-\.
in this layout, \ is altgr-ß (equivalent to ralt-= on an american 
keyboard). i suspect that mc refuses to activate the hotkey, 
because it finds ralt to be pressed.
this behavior is new in mc 4.6.
