On the Mac, firstly it's not possible cos the fkeys are already used,
and secondly... we can't really change the keycodes for menus.

On a related note, I'm using the curses library in an application (so I'm a dinosaur), and the system has hijacked F1 through F4. I can use all of the other function keys. Anybody know a way for me to gain control of F1 through F4, or to at least disable them so an accidental press of F1 doesn't crash my program?

What _do_ those keys do? I've been reading this thread and the only fkeys of mine that do anything are f10-f12 which I've mapped to apple scripts (or something, it's been a while) to control iTunes.


Also, what keycode does the large "delete" key return? Looking now at
the curs_getch(3X) man page, it's not KEY_DC and it's not KEY_BACKSPACE.
Anyone know?

Looking at some code I wrote a few years ago, it looks like it sends 0x7f which should be del as defined by ascii.
