In htop F10 is used to exit but it conflicts with Terminal function to show menu instead.

How can we unbind F10 in terminal?

  1. Edit -> Preferences -> General:

  2. Uncheck "Enable the accelerator key (F10 by default)"

Terminal settings

If this is the only conflict you could also use Ctrl + c or just q to quit htop.

    Seems baffling that this isn't under Shortcuts...

    Seems even baffling that this is a default setting for a linux terminal. Nuts.

    I hate this default, and I am among the first to set it up on every install - ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04
