This isn't really an ssh issue. Function keys in a tty environment
are handled as multibyte escape sequences, and the exact sequence is
arbitrarily defined by whoever made the terminal or terminal emulator.
Most modern terminal emulators support VT100 emulation, or perhaps a
later model from the VT family (such as VT220). Check your terminal
emulator's settings to see what terminal it's emulating -- you usually
want to choose the best (highest numbered) VT terminal you can, up to
the limits of what your server knows about.
On the server side, the $TERM environment variable tells your applications
which terminal's (or emulator's) escape sequences it should expect. Make
sure the $TERM variable is set correctly. For example, TERM=vt100 and
TERM=xterm share a lot of common escape sequences, but the function keys
are very different.
