v2025.3.26.0 - trouble in linux terminal console with function keys
Hello.
After upgrading from version v2025.3.25.0 to v2025.3.26.0 or to v2025.3.27.0 there is a trouble with function keys in linux terminal console.
I use in Midnight Commander Alt+s (fast search in file list) or Shift+Alt+? (searching dialog), but now it's not functional.
I try change terminal and keyboard setting in connection definition but not with success.
Is there any solution of this?
Thank You very much.
Best regards,
Ales
Hello Ales,
I ran some tests on my side to see how the SSH terminal handles the key combinations you mentioned. Using showkey -a on the Linux console, all key sequences, including Alt and Shift+Alt combinations, are transmitted correctly. I tested on both RDM 2025.3.25 and .27.
Since these shortcuts are not native to Linux and are only interpreted by applications like Midnight Commander, it would be helpful to confirm whether the key sequences reach your system correctly as well.
When you have a moment, could you run the following command on your machine and then press the affected key combinations?showkey -a
Let me know what results you get!
