Debian Mate: is it possible to re-map the F1 key for terminal use?

[Vimmer]

I recently decided to switch over to Debian 12 from Ubuntu, and so far I have liked it so much better even though it took some time to get used to and install the software that suited my purposes.

I'm wondering if it's possible to use the F1 key for anything other than the "Desktop User Guide" window. I like to use it for mapping inside of vim, but it doesn't seem to be possible to use it inside of the terminal. It just pops up that help window every time i try to use it.

I have found 7 years old guide:
Alt.OS.Linux.Mint.Narkive.com: Avoid hijacking of F1 key in mate-terminal
so I do not know, if it still works.

BTW, IMHO, it could need two levels/kinds of settings simultaneously:

1. resending [F1] from desktop (Mate or window manager?) to terminal emulator
2. resending [F1] from terminal emulator to application running in it

You might want to tell us which desktop environment and which terminal program you use.

The DE is debian mate like i stated, the terminal is the default mate terminal.

Unfortunately, I can only speak for the Xfce4-terminal, within it's settings menu there is an option to release the F1 key.
