I use mc with brltty regularly, and I don't have any problem.

mc presents the currently selected file in the bottom line of each
split window.  So I dont need attributes.

And the main menu and the dialog boxes all use the normal cursor
to position correctly.

There is a option in mc to enable this "statusline", but I forgot how it was
called.  I can look it up if you are interested.
