Shift+F# keys converted to ;2R

**dwiel** · November 6th, 2012

I'm also still having this problem in 12.04. I want to assign a key to shift+F3 in emacs, but it gets turned into ";2R" Lots of *-f* combos have similar a effect. I have noticed that xterm does not have this problem, only gnome-terminal.

Code:

shift+f2          - ;2Q
shift+f3          - ;2R
shift+f4          - ;2S
alt+f2            - ubuntu captures this chord
alt+f3            - ;3R
alt+f4            - ;3S
shift+alt+f2      - ;4Q
shift+alt+f3      - ;4R
shift+alt+f4      - ;4S
ctrl+f2           - ;5Q
ctrl+f3           - ;5R
ctrl+f4           - ;5S
ctrl+shift+f2     - ;6Q
ctrl+shift+f3     - ;6R
ctrl+shift+f4     - ;6S
alt+ctrl+shift+f2 - ;8Q
alt+ctrl+shift+f3 - ;8R
alt+ctrl+shift+f4 - ;8S

It seems this has been a problem for quite some time: old thread from July 2010
