Out of curiosity, I tried that. There's a list of F keys down the
bottom, some of which I can't use, because the terminal window uses
them for itself (e.g. F1 for MATE help, F10 to open the MATE terminal
menus, and navigate them with the cursor keys, instead of F1 for htop
help, and F10 to quit htop). So, to quit htop, I had to close the
terminal window.
Alt-{F1,F10} to reach the menus?
Or did you try good old xterm? Works like a charm here - and "here" is
awesome window manager plus gdm. Plus gnome software, that I run
inside awesome. Plus: I have (nearly permanently) running htop in a tmux
window/pane, in a gnome-terminal. Inside this terminal running tmux all
F-keys for htop are available except F1: for F1 I need the combo
<Alt>-<F1> ..
Plus: Inside awesome I run tmux fullscreen and with the gnome title
being switched off - just in case this might be important.
Good luck!
