I will note that it is very weird that F1 - F4 in cygwin are generating
the same sequences as up/down/left/right.  Something is messed up
somewhere, there.
It would be weird if it were happening, but I have readline ("~/.inputrc") mappings for all the Fn keys and "Insert" and "Delete" as well as the usual pre-defined, built-in mappings for the arrow keys. Though I usually keep NumLock engaged, the arrow keys on the number pad work fine when I disengage it.

I'm experiencing no symptoms of overlap or other problems in the sequences generated by the keyboard in "console" Cygwin.

It's probably a hysterical problem with whomever first wrote the cygwin
console handling.
