For the benefit of anyone who finds this looking for advice on getting Gnome to pass function keys to an application: another solution is to use the mouse and click on the F10 label. This works in HTOP, for example.
It also helps to use the built in help -- e.g., HTOP accepts "q" as a substitute for F10 generally -- but it's had to RTFM using Gnome terminal, because Gnome hijacks F1, too, and brings up a system help window. There doesn't seem to be any way to turn that interception off. Even if the Keyboard Shortcut for desktop help is changed from "help" (btw, my keyboard doesn't have a "help" key; does yours?), the terminal application still intercepts F1. I would file the F1/F10 issue as a partly-addressed design problem w/ Gnome Terminal, rather than as a bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194155 Title: mc and gnome-terminal, F10 key conflict -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
