I finally managed to get the regression tests up in

This allowed me to better understand the code, and yes, for the F-keys,
I could not find a faulty situation with your patch.
However, the same problem is happening with the arrow keys, as arrow up
is translated to page up.
We *could* adapt your patch to solve this, but I find it really hard to understand.
How about the following diff:

This is more or less what I suggested, minus the bug fixes.
I find this easier to understand as the .pressed_fn field is not there
anymore and we just rely on the actual state of the input subsystem.
