How do I make the F-keys work in byobu, for midnight commander (mc), htop, etc?

Jorge Castro

I use byobu with the tmux backend on my 12.04 server. I'd like to use the midnight commander shortcut keys with it, but the F keys don't work.

I've seen some posts on the issues here:

but they are out of date and don't seem to work for newer versions of byobu. How can I either work around this or use MC in a way that works better?

Dustin Kirkland

You can easily toggle on/off the use of the F-keys inside of Byobu (tmux) by pressing either:

  • shift-F12 (in tmux)

  • ctrl-a-! (in screen)

Full disclosure: I'm the author and maintainer of Byobu.
