What do you mean by "tell when F7 is hit in a particular event"?

Are you looking at a trace of X11 network traffic, and you're looking to
see whether there are any X events for F7 being hit?

Or do you want *Ethereal* to do something when you hit the F7 key?

There's no way to do the latter, unless you write code and add it to
Ethereal to do that; Ethereal doesn't have an extension language or the
ability to bind particular keys to actions.

The former might be possible, at least in 0.10.3, but you'd have to look
at the X11 protocol manual and the list of filterable fields in the X11
dissector to figure out how to do that.
