It's very hard to support such keys in all terminals.  Perhaps your
terminal doesn't produce anything when Shift-F6 is pressed.  Try recent
xterm or rxvt is you can.

If we have "Advanced Options" dialog some day, it may be added there.
The current behavior is to suggest copying to the hidden panel, which is
reasonable in my opinion, especially if Shift-F6 can be used to override
this behavior.
