(The title says it all, really!)

With the the Frame Buffer in MODE 7, Shift+F7/F8/F9 do COPY, left cursor and right cursor rather than select white, flash and no flash. Shift+F1-F6 work fine, though, selecting colours.

I'm not sure if it's a keyboard or frame buffer problem, but it's clearly related to the Pi Frame Buffer.

This is on the latest hognose-dev commit 8ed9d34.

It's an inevitable consequence of the way the cursor editing is currently implemented,

It currently uses *FX 4,1 mode on the host:

Otherwise, those keys just operate as host side cursor editing.

Possibly we could use *FX 4,2 mode:

But then we would have to program function keys F11-F15 to generate special key codes.

Are you using the Native ARM Co Pro or the 6502 Co Pro?
