Terminal emulator opens menu by F10 key and/or opens help by F1 key.

[tuxmartin]

Terminal emulator open menu after i press F1 or F10 key.
Midnight commander, htop and a lot of other linux TUI apps use Fx keys for own functions.
I don't know anyone who need F1 and F10 key bindings set to terminal emulator menu...

Solution:
Disable these function in terminal emulator setttings. It is simple. Why it is not in default config?

This is a request for reconsideration of default settings and not directly a bug. Marking as "Opinion" as discussion can take place even though it is not a defect in any of the three packages listed.

In lxterminal 0.2.0 F1 is not used, and F10 can be disabled in preferences.

In xfce4-terminal 0.6.3 F1 is used and can not be disabled, but F10 can be disabled in preferences.

In gnome-terminal 3.18.3 F1 is used and can not be disabled, but F10 can be disabled in preferences.

More utilities needing F1:
alsamixer
dialog --hfile

That's unfortunate that this terminal uses F1 key binding for function that its less advanced users will invoke from appropriate menu anyway.

[Unit 193 (unit193)]

See also bug #1620223, this has been fixed in xfce4-terminal 0.8.x series, which Xubuntu has.

In gnome-terminal 3.36.2-1ubuntu1 (Groovy) the F10 selects (without "clicking") the New Tab button, for which a keyboard shortcut already exists. The shortcut can't be disabled from the gnome-terminal settings, not even disabling all the shortcuts by unchecking the "Enable shortcuts" checkbox.

I didn't test it personally, but according to LP: #1893118 this is an issue in Focal too.

Confirmed F10 issue with gnome-terminal. Can't really use htop settings as F10 is bound to terminal

[jowfdoijdfdwfwdf (dsfkljo322332)]

terminal edit->preferences->general (uncheck) enable the menu accelerator key (F10 by default)
This solve the issue

@jowfdoijdfdwfwdf yes, you can disalbe this annoing "feature".

But how many people want to use F1/F10 keys in terminal? A lot of applications like mc, htop use these keys.
