I'm on Ubuntu 19.10 desktop, trying to use terminal and mc. The F10 key shortcut to quit MC is not working, nothing happens, only the cursor blinks when I press F10. I tried some ideas about this I found on the internet, but couldn't solve the problem. Running showkey from command line, I can see key 68 press and release when I press F10.

I'm out of ideas on how solve this. Any suggestions?

In Terminal: Preferences -> General F10 was bound to "Menu accelerator"

If the function keys do not work, use the following alternatives:

Another way to disable F10 key is to use gsettings from the command line:

gsettings set org.gnome.Terminal.Legacy.Settings menu-accelerator-enabled false

It does exactly the same thing as Edgar's answer, but from the command line.
