This issue with the F1-F4 keys has been corrected in the 20201205
upstream patchlevel. I have cherry-picked the fix now , will upload
shortly so that you don't need ~/.mlterm/termcap anymore. :-)

I think the original problem (broken background colors with a custom
~/.mlterm/termcap file) needs to be addressed in mlterm. I definitely
do not want to deviate from ncurses upstream by dropping bce from the
mlterm terminfo definitions or something like that.
