Sorry, it is not possible due to the hardware design of Fn key, I suggest using following key maps to solve your current problem: PrtScr - AppKey shift+PrtScr - PrtScr You can easily achieve this.
Function Key Mapping Mac
Personal Communications includes two.KMP keyboard map files that map the standard Win32 hotkeys for Cut, Copy, and Paste to Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V, respectively. You can use these keyboard map files or add the key values to an existing map file. For 5250 sessions, the.KMP file provided is pcswinkb5.kmp. The remapping is given in Table 15. This variable holds a keymap that describes the character sequences sent by function keys on an ordinary character terminal. The value of input-decode-map is usually set up automatically according to the terminal’s Terminfo or Termcap entry, but sometimes those need help from terminal-specific Lisp files.
KERMIT 95 VT220 / VT320 FUNCTION KEY MAPPING
Kermit 95 is Columbia University's communicationssoftware for Windows, with 40+ terminal emulations including DEC VT320and below available over serial-port, modem, Telnet, SSH, and otherkinds of connections, plus Kermit and XYZMODEM file transfer,scripting,and many other features, including a flexible key mapping mechanism, whichallows (for example) the PC keyboard to be mapped to a DEC terminal keyboard.This page applies to DEC VT220, 320, 420, and 520 series terminals withthe standard DEC LK201 keyboard. It does NOT apply to the DECVT100 series,which does not have Function (F) keys.

(CLICK IMAGE to magnify)A glance the DEC keyboard layout diagrams above and at left reveals that theDEC LK201 and IBM 101 keyboards are quite different, especially in the toprow. Those who wish to map the DEC keyboard to the IBM one quickly findthat the DEC keyboard has more function keys: 16 versus 12 on the PCkeyboard. To confound the confusion, DEC's F-keys are labeled F6 throughF20 (F1-F4 are only for local use) and DEC and IBM keys that have the samefunction (e.g. Local Print = Print Screen, Hold Session = Scroll Lock) arein different places.
No mapping of DEC to IBM F-keys will please everyone. Kermit 95 comes witha default mapping, which is described here. If you don't like it, you canchange it as described below. Here is the defaultmapping of DEC to IBM F-keys:
DEC key| IBM key | Kverb | Remarks | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hold Session | Scroll Lock | KholdScrn | |
| Local Print | Alt-p | Kdump | |
| Set Up | (none) | ||
| Switch Session | (none) | ||
| F5 | F5 | KBreak | Send BREAK |
| F6 | F6 | KdecF06 | DEC F6 |
| F7 | F7 | KdecF07 | DEC F7 |
| F8 | F8 | KdecF08 | DEC F8 |
| F9 | F9 | KdecF09 | DEC F9 |
| F10 | F10 | KdecF10 | DEC F10 |
| F11 | Alt-F1 | KdecF11 | DEC F11: ESC (Escape) |
| F12 | Alt-F2 | KdecF12 | DEC F12: BS (Backspace) |
| F13 | Alt-F3 | KdecF13 | DEC F13: LF (Linefeed) |
| F14 | Alt-F4 | KdecF14 | DEC F14 |
| F15 | Alt-F5 | KdecF15 | The DEC Help key |
| F16 | Alt-F6 | KdecF16 | The DEC Do key |
| F17 | Alt-F7 | KdecF17 | DEC F17 |
| F18 | Alt-F8 | KdecF18 | DEC F18 |
| F19 | Alt-F9 | KdecF19 | DEC F19 |
| F20 | Alt-F10 | KdecF20 | DEC F20 |
To change the key map, you need to write a SET KEY or SET TERMINAL KEYcommand for each key you wish to remap. Each such command requires akeycode to identify the key or key combination to be mapped, and avalue to map it to. The value can be a 'Kverb' (Keyboard Verb),such as the ones listed above. A Kverb with a name like 'KdecXX'means 'send what the DEC xx key would send'. You can find a completelisting of Kermit 95 keycodes HERE, or you canuse the SHOW KEY to find out the keycode of any key or key combination:
This tells you that the keycode for Alt-F5 is 2420 and its currentassignment (valu) is the Kverb Kdecf15. Note that in SET(TERMINAL) KEY commands:
- Keycodes may be written with or without a backslash prefix;2420 = 2420.
- Kverb names are case-independent; e.g. Kdecf15 =KDecF15 = kdecf15.
- Certain DEC F-key verb names have alternative spellings,e.g. KDecF05 = KdecF5.
- Certain DEC F-key verb names are synonyms for others, e.g.e.g. KDecF15 = KdecHelp.
Here's a table of IBM F keys, their default assignments in VT220 and VT320emulation, and their keycodes:
Key| Keycode | Value | Remarks | |
|---|---|---|---|
| F1 | 368 | Kgold | DEC PF1 = The Gold Key |
| F2 | 369 | Kpf2 | DEC PF2 |
| F3 | 370 | Kpf3 | DEC PF3 |
| F4 | 371 | Kpf4 | DEC PF4 |
| F5 | 372 | KdecF05 | DEC Break key (= Kbreak) |
| F6 | 373 | KdecF06 | DEC F6 |
| F7 | 374 | KdecF07 | DEC F7 |
| F8 | 375 | KdecF08 | DEC F8 |
| F9 | 376 | KdecF09 | DEC F9 |
| F10 | 377 | KdecF10 | DEC F10 |
| F11 | 378 | KdecF15 | DEC Help Key (= KdecHelp) |
| F12 | 379 | KdecF16 | DEC Do Key (= KdecDo) |
And here is a table of IBM F-Alt-key combinations, as above:
Key| Keycode | Value | Remarks | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alt-F1 | 2416 | KdecF11 | DEC F11: ESC (Escape) |
| Alt-F2 | 2417 | KdecF12 | DEC F12: BS (Backspace) |
| Alt-F3 | 2418 | KdecF13 | DEC F13: LF (Linefeed) |
| Alt-F4 | 2419 | KdecF14 | DEC F14 |
| Alt-F5 | 2420 | KdecF15 | DEC Help (= KdecHelp) |
| Alt-F6 | 2421 | KdecF16 | DEC Do (= KdecDo) |
| Alt-F7 | 2422 | KdecF17 | DEC F17 |
| Alt-F8 | 2423 | KdecF18 | DEC F18 |
| Alt-F9 | 2424 | KdecF19 | DEC F19 |
| Alt-F10 | 2425 | KdecF20 | DEC F20 |
| Alt-F11 | 2426 | (undefined) | |
| Alt-F12 | 2427 | (undefined) |
Shift-F-key combinations are reserved for DEC User Defined Keys (that is,for keys whose values can be defined by escape sequences sent from the hostapplication). Of course you can redefine these too if you wish, as well asdefine Ctrl-F-key, Ctrl-Alt-F-key, Ctrl-Shift-F-key, or any othercombinations you wish. Just use SHOW key to obtain the keycodes, orconsult the TABLE.
To remap keys, use SET KEY (which appliesuniversally) or SET TERMINAL KEY (which applies only to a particularemulation). Suppose, for example, you want to remap the F1 key to performthe Hold Session function. Use any of the following commands:
The first one stays in effect, even if you switch to another terminalemulation. The second applies only to VT220 emulation, and the third toVT320.
Put SET [TERMINAL] KEY Commands in..| If you want them to.. | |
| v(appdata)K95CUSTOM.INI | Apply to all your connections. |
| Dialer Entry Keyboard Page | Apply to a particular connection. |
The DEC (and all other) Kverbs are listed in your Kermit 95 Manual:
