wouldn't it be nice to be able to do that ?
so if you want to use, say,
shift left and shift right to move your mouse for 10 pixels,
and in gnome-term you perfer using it for switching
from tab to tab, you have the possibility ?
clobbering functions keys is pretty common...
(F1 is so sparsingly used that i use it for launching xterm...
however, when i need F1, i'd like to have the choice...)
