escaping Function keys for terminal applications

I'm trying to use F keys (F1,F10,F11) keys in terminal applications (e.g. mutltitail , mc) in terminal emulator (xfce4-terminal) but these keys are assigned to terminal emulator GUI (for help, menu & fullscreen)

how can I send F1,F10,F11 to terminal applications in an terminal emulator ?

The F10 key can be disassociated with the terminal GUI by going to Preferences -> General, and then unchecking 'Enable the menu accelerator key'.

This answer has more information: Ubuntu 18.04 Terminal F10 function key conflict with htop

I'm unsure about the F1 or F11 keys, but I suspect @LewRockwellFan may have the best solution by suggesting to look at the configuration for the applications you are trying to use.
