Change Hotkeys to not intercept function keys #354

Open nashley opened 9 years ago

nashley commented 9 years ago

I propose that the default hotkeys for finalterm be changed to not use just the function keys. It can be frustrating to use popular programs (e.g., htop) that use the function keys when finalterm intercepts the keys for its own purposes. Perhaps ctrl+F10 or something like that instead of just F10? Is there any argument for keeping it how it is now?

I like F12 being the shortcut for "dropdown", as this is what guake and iTerm2 use as default as well. I thought for a long time about which key should bring up the window and really wanted it to be a function key for consistency with dropdown but you are probably right.

Can we have the ability to use custom hotkeys?

@Shahrukh36: This is already possible; by editing https://github.com/p-e-w/finalterm/blob/master/data/KeyBindings/default.ftkeys, you can make keys do whatever you want.
