1: Anything here? https://docs.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-terminal/preferences
   There's a "Disable help window shortcut key (F1 by default)"
   That also suggests you can bind a different key other than F1 for 
   this.
   Also: https://docs.xfce.org/faq#keyboard_related

2: What happens if you try an xterm or urxvt or aterm etc?
