Description Michael Cronenworth 2008-06-25 16:10:30 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Pressing SHIFT+F1, SHIFT+F2, SHIFT+F3, SHIFT+F4 no
longer works to the XTERM spec in vte-0.16.x

Steps to reproduce:
1. In gnome-terminal, cat -
2. SHIFT+F4
3. Start "xterm"
4. cat -
5. SHIFT+F4


Actual results:
^[O1;2S (gnome-terminal)
^[O2S (xterm)

Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
I originally filed this at Red Hat. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=249573

I found out that the Gnome Bugzilla had the change recorded. It was originally a problem with ALT+arrow keys. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337252

The code is currently in a #if 1 define in vte-0.16.13/src/keymap.c:1440 and needs to be addressed with a better patch so that both SHIFT+F1 through SHIFT+F4 work along with ALT+arrow keys.
