First I cd'ed to /usr/share/apps/konsole.
There, I copied vt440pc.keytab to vt220pc.keytab
I updated the new vt220pckeytab to look the text below. Then I went into the Konsole settings and updated the "shell" configuration to use the new keytable and set the TERM variable to vt220. Everything, so far, works as it should.
Thanks for all of the pointers!

keyboard "VT220PC"
# --------------------------------------------------------------
#
# This configuration table allows to customize the
# meaning of the keys.
#
# The syntax is that each entry has the form :
#
# "key" Keyname { ("+"|"-") Modename } ":" (String|Operation)
#
# Keynames are those defined in <qnamespace.h> with the
# "Qt::Key_" removed. (We'd better insert the list here)
#
# Mode names are :
#
# - Shift
# - Alt
# - Control
#
# The VT100 emulation has two modes that can affect the
# sequences emitted by certain keys. These modes are
# under control of the client program.
#
# - Newline : effects Return and Enter key.
# - Application : effects Up and Down key.
#
# - Ansi : effects Up and Down key (This is for VT52, really).
#
# Operations are
#
# - scrollUpLine
# - scrollUpPage
# - scrollDownLine
# - scrollDownPage
#
# - emitSelection
#
# If the key is not found here, the text of the
# key event as provided by QT is emitted, possibly
# preceeded by ESC if the Alt key is pressed.

OK, I give up. This is probably a trivial question but I have exhausted my resources hunting for it.
I have an application that, when run, gets to a point and asks me to press "F17" to continue. I am using Knonsole and I have tried every combination of keys that would make sense to send an "F17" (and a few that did not make sense) with no cheese down any hole. I am clearly missing something. Any assistance would be appreciated.-- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
