6 years ago What do you exactly mean by "trapping"?
F1 (help), F10 (menu) and F11 (fullscreen) are not delivered to the app running inside the terminal emulator, but are handled by mate-terminal itself by default. You can change this under Edit -> Keyboard shortcuts.
If this is not what you meant, could you please attach an example ncurses app, or step by step instructions what you're trying to do in nano, and explain what behavior you expect vs what happens actually? Thanks!
Expected behaviour
trapping of F-Keys
Actual behaviour
mate-terminal will NOT allow trapping of F-Keys. This makes custom programming impossible using ncurses & other programs like nano. This also violates POSIX Standards.
Steps to reproduce the behaviour
write ncurses code to trap F-Keys
MATE general version
MATE 1.18.0
