Description

### Apache NetBeans version

Apache NetBeans 13

### What happened

When I open terminal NB -> Windows -> IDE Tools -> Terminal and run mc (midnight commander) I can't use F4, F5, F6, F7, F8 functions keys. At the same time F9 works. So, If I need to copy file in mc, I have to select file, press F9 -> menu -> File -> Copy.

### How to reproduce

_No response_

### Did this work correctly in an earlier version?

I don't know.

### Operating System

Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS, Linux version 5.11.0-38-generic running on amd64; UTF-8; en_US (nb)

### JDK

Java: 17.0.2; OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 17.0.2+8-86

### Apache NetBeans packaging

Apache NetBeans provided installer

### Anything else

Research direction

Start at Apache NetBeans 13's IDE Tools > Terminal on Ubuntu 20.04.3 and reproduce the problem by running mc. Compare the handling of F4-F8 with F9, and consider the issue done when those function keys work in mc without requiring the F9 menu.
