Can I set up KiTTY to send F7 press instead of bringing up Print dialogue when I press F7?

I make intense use of Midnight Commander and its editor, which both rely on F7 (to create a directory and to search through text) and I never actually print from a terminal.

According to http://www.9bis.net/kitty/index.php?action=forum&id=0144 just change print={F7} in the [Shortcuts] section of your config file to something else, e.g. print={SHIFT}{F7}.

1I used to have print={SHIFT}{F7} and printall={F7} there. I've just removed both (as I NEVER print), but it didn't help. Printing still pops up on F7 :-( – Ivan – 2011-04-02T07:15:30.583

1I've replaced F7 with F12 then and this has solved the problem practically (so, I accept the answer as correct), but I'd prefer to remove this at all if possible. – Ivan – 2011-04-02T07:19:45.933

8I gave a few things a shot, and found that creating kitty.ini, in the location of kitty.exe, with the text: [KiTTY] shortcuts=no ...will also disable F7's action of printing. – stylez – 2011-04-02T12:56:42.747

3If you're looking for kitty.ini on Windows, I found mine in C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\KiTTY\. – patrickvacek – 2014-05-08T17:10:44.920
