I need to run some console apps that need F1-F10 keys and I can't figure out how to generate these - can anyone help? I am running Cacko on a SL-C3200 with Embedded Konsole. I have Keyhelper but I can't figure if that can do it (or what the required codes are).

thanks

Simple solution for idnight commander mc:

use the cancel button followed by number 1 to 0 this gives F1 to F10.

This works generally similar on mc under Linux, on a normal PC it would be ESC followed by 1 to 0.

I have no idea whether other console apps work similar. Could be something to try out before trying to mangle it thru keyhelper.

Use the second right key from Ctrl and [1..9,0] keys to simulate [F1..F9,F10].

as far as i remeber Fn+ 0-9 worked as F1-9 keys and has worked in pdaxrom and OZ as well
