   You can turn off the shortcuts by going to:
Edit->Keyboard Shortcuts

...scroll down to Help->Contents and double-click the 'F1' entry and 
press 'Backspace' to disable it. Can this be done programmatic-ally? I 
don't know. As an aside if I remember correctly what little I've done in 
(php)ncurses when checking for those 'special' keys, they return a 
multi-byte sequence... so based on the first result you may need to do 
another getchar (or whatever it's called) as well. I do believe the 
arrow keys and F# keys meet this requirement.
