Is there some documentation on what kH, @7, etc. all means? I see that Home (^[OH) and End (^[OF) are there in /etc/termcap but only Return (^M) and not KP_Enter (^[OM). What would be the symbol required to map ^[OM to? I see that vt100 has @8=\EOM, is this what I'm looking for and do we want it in the xterm definition? > I just checked NetBSD's termcap, they only defines @7 to \EOF in xterm entry. > Also, on a Linux box, infocmp shows that only @7 is defined but not *6 and kH. > So, I'm wondering whether we should remove those two keys (kH and @7)? They also define @8=\EOM right next to @7. I wonder, though, how do I activate the change? I changed /etc/termcap, opened a new xterm but mutt's behaviour hasn't changed ...
