No need to go chasing that far. #include <ncurses.h> pulls in the macro definitions as well. KEY_F(n) supports 'n' values in the range from 0 to 64. value of this macro is a range of 64 consecutive values, starting with KEY_F0 -- which is defined as *octal* 0410 it may take a little experimenting to see which key (plus modifier key(s) like 'shift','control', etc, map to which 'n' values)
