This also resembles the difference between "application keypad" mode, and whatever the opposite is called. This was in an xterm, right? Xterm has a menu uption in the middle-mouse menu. Maybe somehow you changed that setting somewhere in one of your config files.

Not all function keys work in latest ctwm on Fedora 32 [Correction 2]
I have copied a .ctwmrc found on the internet, and with that my ability to use function-keys F1 to F12, apart from F9 has been restored. So the bug was in some recent change to my large and messy .ctwmrc. I am gradually copying things from the old file into the new one and checking what does and does not work. A slow process. But I should eventually learn what was wrong with my old .ctwmrc. Apologies for blaming this on a change in ctwm! Aaron http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~axs

The last line should have been: > Note that keys F3 F5 F6 F11 and F12 have no effect. I wonder if F11 has been mapped to some new function: it seems to do something to the registration of the display contents. I hope I don't have to debug the latest source code... Is there some way to get back to an earlier version, a few years ago? Aaron
