Cannot use byobu shotcut in gnome-terminal after upgrading GNOME 3.12

I cannot use byobu to create a vertical pane in gnome-terminal after upgrading to gnome 3.12.
The shortcut of creating vertical pane is Shift+F2. When I press these keys, there is `6~' showing
in the terminal.

I have tried this key binding in urxvt terminal. It still doesn't work. However, when I tried in Xfce-terminal,
byobu worked well.

Any ideas? Many thanks.

Same issue here. It only shows '~' when I press Shift-F2

Okay I think I found a workaround, Byobu depends on tmux and the same issue is happening with tmux with Shift and all the function keys.
So to get things working, just set the env variable $TERM to "screen-256color"

$ export TERM=screen-256color

and then run byobu again. I'm not sure if this will break other things, I'll report back if I find anything.

Thank you so much for this workaround! I already discussed the topic here without any success: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=184603.
