You want to use the 10 Key-Fn keys (Key-F0 through Key-F9), which need to be mapped to a character (or character sequence) with Oracle Terminal. If the key(s) you want are already in use, you'll have to move them.

Some keys can be moved more easily than others.

I did a wholesale remapping of the VT220 keyboard for our users, who use a VT220 terminal emulator on a PC. This has the additional virtue of having the keyboard map show the PC keynames rather than the VT220 keynames.
