SYNOPSIS: Unable to mask F1 key from bringing help window in dtterm
DETAIL DESCRIPTION:
I want the F1 key to be passed on to my application running in a dterm,
but the window manager catches the F1 and always brings up the help
window. I would like to disable it, how?
SOLUTION SUMMARY:
There are two ways that you can do this.
First using the Options->Terminal menu in dtterm setting the Keypad Mode
to application would pass the F1 key to the application.
If you need this to be automated you can change the key translations.
Here is an example of how the key translation can be changed.
Copy the following into a file and set the environmental variable
XENVIRONMENT to point to this file that you have created. In the file
the F1 key translates to a ^[[11~ .
