Thank you James.
The problem arose when logging to a KDE server via Cygwin.
I tried to connect a gnome server. It works with the<C-F5> syntax.
It also works on windows.
In the KDE server case, opening a Konsole terminal and typing CTRL-F5
does not display anything. Moreover, all the CTRL-Fx keys are silent.
Don't know if it due to KDE or Cygwin (or to the combination of both).
The problem is that ALT-Fx and MAJ-Fx keys are also silent in this
environment. Difficult!
Best regards

I'm on Linux and I used to be on KDE until very recently.
<C-F5> is the correct Vim syntax, but on Linux, KDE uses Ctrl-Fn to
switch to the n-th virtual desktop. It also uses Alt-Fn (in Vim, <A-Fn>
or <M-Fn>) for various functions of its own, and the kernel uses
Ctrl-Alt-Fn to switch to the n-th virtual console (where the first 6,
usually, are text consoles and the seventh one is your first or
-usually- only X session). Shift-Fn (in Vim, <S-Fn>) works for me, where
the "shift" key is the English name of the key which the French call "la
touche majuscule". <M-key> is meta (usually the same as Alt), not majuscule.
To check whether Vim sees a given key (or key combination), make sure
that 'showcmd' is on (which is the native-Windows default but not the
Unix default), then place Vim in Insert mode and hit Ctrl-V (or Ctrl-Q
if mswin.vim has remapped your Ctrl-V to the paste operation) followed
by the key in question. If ^V (or ^Q) is still displayed near bottom
right of your screen, Vim didn't get that other key. If it did, the
keycode (or, in gvim for a non-printable key, the <> key name) has now
been inserted in your Insert-mode buffer the way Vim saw it.
Best regards,
Tony.
