This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
I have been trying to define menu-bar menus for a minor mode in which
keys are bound to a function key f5. After much experimentation and
trying for a good while to master the labyrinth of keyboard input in
general, my conclusion is that Emacs will not pick up and display
keyboard equivalents on menus when the key sequence to invoke them
begins with a function key. I have a vague idea that this is so
because menu items are implemented as bindings for a hierarchy of
pseudo-keys in the form of vectors, or function keys. But other than
seeing that suspicioius connection, I cannot find any documented or
clear reason why this should be so, so I am submitting this behavior
as a bug. The relatively short keymap below demonstrates a few
things: that Emacs will pick up and display bindings for sequences
like C-f3; that Emacs will not pick up sequences beginning with f5 (or
other function keys); and lastly that Emacs will not pick them up even
if the precise binding is supplied with a :key-sequence keyword (in
this case [f5 108] = <f5>l bound to `ox-set-subtree-level'; notice
that Emacs has stored (nil) as the 5th element of that list, meaning
it has not found a binding for that menu item -- you can see that all
the keys not bound first of all to function keys do show up there.)
The behavior is the same with 21.2 as it is with this week's 21.3.50.
