Dear Maintainer,

I think it would be useful if remote-viewer had an option to disable
the special handling of F10 keypresses.

Some DEs (e.g. Plasma) handle F10 as a keyboard shortcut, which means
that programs can't ordinarily handle it; however, there also are
programs that can disable this DE functionality for their own windows,
e.g. Konsole. In remote-viewer, the lack of the option to disable this
behavior makes it impossible to send F10 keypresses to the guest.

Thank you.

Regards,
Samuel Plavec
