But, if you type F1 while you are in /bin/sh, you'll see the cursor move
up a line. That indicates that cygwin is mapping F1 to ^[[A, which is,
AFAICT, incorrect. It probably *should* be mapping to ^[OP. And, F2
should be ^[OQ, etc.
I used to have these things memorized from my past life maintaining a text
editor (among other things).
