gnome-terminal claims to be an xterm emulator, for this the zvtterm xterm emulator widget is used. This widget has the following problems: -home, end & del don't match terminfo/termcap nor do the match xterm/rxvt/Eterm/konsole. Try for example mc. -F1-F4 send VT100 style esc-sequences, this doesn't match terminfo/termcap nor does it match xterm/rxvt/konsole/Eterm. Try for example F1 in vim or ntsysv. -* and / on the keypad don't honor application keypad mode. See for example options->learnkeys in mc. The attached patch fixes these problems , and adds: -shift F1-F10 send F11-F20 just like xterm,rxvt & Eterm. These fixes bring gnome-terminal on par with the fixes done to the other terminal emulators in RH to get error free keybindings in RH6.2
Created attachment 95 [details] gendiff patch to fix the described problems
