Bug Description
Binary package hint: screen-profiles
Several users are reporting that F1-F4 are not working properly in putty. F5-F9 work as expected.
I suspect this will necessitate the use of the screen-profiles framework by defining custom/different keybindings for putty. Perhaps a supplied profile in:
* /usr/share/
that overrides those in common.
We'd also want a to add an action in screen-

I can confirm that making this change made the F2/F3/F4 keybinds work in Putty 0.60/WinXP.
