Description of problem: Function keys F1, F2, F3, F4, F5 don't work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mc-4.7.5.2-1.fc14.x86_64 How reproducible: Easily Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load mc 2. Press any of F1 through F5 Actual results: "[A" shows up on the command line panel at the bottom Expected results: The corresponding action should occur Additional info: F6 through F10 do work! It's just left side panels? Consequently I can't use mc to copy files from one dir to another.
I just tested this on Fedora 15 (mc-4.7.5.2-1.fc15.x86_64) and it behaves in the same (broken) manner.
What terminal (or terminal emulator) used? I use konsole and I don't see any issues with functional keys. P.S. As temporarry solutions you may: 1) Go to F9 -> Learn keys... and learn MC about your non-working funtional keys. or 2) Use META+1, META+2, ... hotkeys. Ths mean, press ALT key and any of numeric keys (or press and release ESC key, then press any of numeric keys).
Interesting. I'm using konsole (version 2.6.4) and it most certainly does NOT work. If I use xterm it works just fine. I didn't even think about it being a terminal emulation thing. I wonder why konsole would screw up just F1 - F5. I'll do some more testing.
In Konsole I have my input type set to "Linux console" and this is causing the problem. If I set it to either "Default (XFree 4)" or "Solaris console" mc works fine. Looking at the bindings for F1 - F5 under "Linux console" I see them mapped thus: F1: \E[[A F2: \E[[B F3: \E[[C F4: \E[[D F5: \E[[E But F6 and beyond are mapped F6: \E[17~ F7: \E[18~ F8: \E[19~ etc... I wonder why those are mapped differently. I'm pretty sure I didn't remap them. I'll just switch to "Default (XFree 4)" to solve the problem.
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
