Yes, but I can define reread to be called by F17 in the source, recompile, and then define Ctrl-Insert to be 
F17. Awkward but "works for me." Thanks for helping out!

However, if the F11-F20 are just empty placeholders, I would love to see them called in a more intuitive 
fashion. Also having more than 10 such placeholders would be helpful. (And an ability to fully define keymaps 
without having to recompile, of course...)

for example:
alt-f7: \e\e[18~
ctrl-insert: \e[2~

 so that your terminal would be

thanks!
