You could create a .term file containing the key bindings, but my
understanding is that while newer versions of OS X and Terminal will
read them, they will no longer write (create) one. So, that makes
it a bit of work. Especially because you'd have to hack your way
into discovering the pertinent key codes. A short exceprt (NB the
<esc>s are actually 0x1B chars in this file, and if the keys shown
match what your machine is doing that would be a miracle) -
<key>F704</key>
<string><esc>OP</string> ! PF1
<key>F705</key>
<string><esc>OQ</string> ! PF2
<key>F706</key>
<string><esc>OR</string> ! PF3
<key>F707</key>
<string><esc>OS</string> ! PF4
A much easier way is to just use the best key remapping tool on
the planet (it's free, too) -
