Description ilia 2013-11-13 09:36:40 UTC 
Problem:
By default terminal bypasses debug keys (F7, F8, ...), Ctrl+Tab and few other keys. It can be disabled in Options -> Misc -> Terminal -> Ignore global shortcuts.
But it is not clear for user why, for example, F7 doesn't work as mkdir in midnight commander. So, we need to inform user about bypassed keys or to make this option more accessible. 

Some ways to solve this problem:
* Make checkbox in the terminal's popup menu
* Make checkbox on the panel where "create local" and "create remote" terminal buttons are placed
* Give a user a popup notification, like "You pressed F7 for the first time. It was not consumed by the terminal. To enable consuming set "Ignore global shortcuts" checkbox in Options -> Misc -> Terminal.
