This bug seems not related to the snap package (snap: location of genes from DNA sequence with hidden markov model) but to the snapd package (part of the app packaging system developed by Canonical).

[Oliver Grawert (ogra)]

This is rather unrelated to snapd ... it is an old known issue with gnome-terminal that it captures F1 presses by default ...

One could argue that pulsemixer would be able to bundle its own terminal app (xterm ?) and wrap that into the app startup command due to being a snap, but that would be a bug against the pulsemixer snap, not against snapd ...

Assigning to gnome-terminal based on the feedback from ora.
