Hello list, Since no one answered the following question: > The function key (F1 through F12) signals are being grabbed by gnome > terminal and never reach cli programs that I am running in gnome terminal. > In essence, I cannot cli tools that use function keys to navigate > the menu. I banged around until figured it out. Here is the answer in case anyone else has this question: gconf-editor -> apps-> nautilus -> gnometerminal -> keybindings and edit the functions keys to suite yourself. FWIW, this topic is not easily found in the documentation for gnome and is nonexistant in redhat docs (As far as I could tell...). Best regards Marvin Dickens
