Can I set up KiTTY to send F7 press instead of bringing up Print dialogue when F7 button is pressed?

Question

Can I set up KiTTY to send F7 press instead of bringing up Print dialogue when I press F7?

I make intense use of Midnight Commander and its editor, which both rely on F7 (to create a directory and to search through text) and I never actually print from a terminal.

Answer 1

According to http://www.9bis.net/kitty/index.php?action=forum&id=0144 just change print={F7} in the [Shortcuts] section of your config file to something else, e.g. print={SHIFT}{F7}.

Answer 2

Right click / Shortcuts toggle - off will turn off shortcuts alltogether.

Answer 3

In my case it works something like this:

1. Change to empty
   print=
   printall=
   But Kitty continues to use previous values ( {SHIFT}{F7} ,{F7} )
2. Change to something else, for example:
   print={}
   printall={}
   
3. Run Kitty and it works! F7 in mc shows "Create a new Directory" dialog

Answer 4

The trick I think people are missing is that you need to ENABLE the .ini entry as well as editing it.

Remove the semicolon that is commenting out the line. For example,

; Print current clipboard content (default if SHIFT+F7)
print=F12
; Print all window buffer content (default is F7)
printall=F11
