           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.5.
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I've an Terminal Emulation where the F1 key is 'Cancel'. Everytime when hitting

Please provide a solution to disable the F1 key WINHELP association.

Thanks

What application are you trying to run? Is it downloadable?

If you're actually using Wine 0.9.5, please consider upgrading. Otherwise,
correct the version field on this bug report.

You are trained to use F1" in your Terminal-Emulator (Name / Version ?)
as a shortcut for Cancel, and expect that every Linux Program (including Wine)
should ignore the F1 key?

That is not possible for Wine.
F1 must be handled the same way as all other keys:
We must send it to the Windows Application.
Most Windows Applications expect working Function Keys.

Or do you have an Application, that you want to use in Wine and where F1
does not work as in Windows?
Please give us a detailed Description of the Problem with the 
Name, Version, Download-URL and AppDB-Entry for the Application.

Thanks

The application uses F1 to cancel (some windows programs use F1 for stuff other
than help), however wine currently hard codes F1 to winhelp (there was a patch
for this a while back, but I don't think it was accepted, IIRC).

Created an attachment (id=10781)
 --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=10781)
Terminal Emulation

As you can see in the upper left there's a button cancel (F1), refresh (F2),
and so on.

Sorry, if i didn't explain it right.
I meant what Austin English explained. There must be somewhere a hard coded
association f1 -> winhelp.
My workaround is to press f1 and leave the winhelp open while working.

Perhaps a Registry Key can be used to break the association ?!?

Thank you.

Uli

Is this still an issue in current (1.0-rc4 or newer) wine?
