I generally use tack for verifying the function-keys against the terminal
description.  (I don't recall seeing a port for tack, but it can probably
be built starting with ncurses-devel, though I haven't tried that, since
I build development versions of ncurses outside the ports).

For _seeing_ the codes, it helps to type ^V (lnext) right before pressing
a given key, making the escape character visible.
