Today I was reading the great book BSD Hacks, by Dru Lavigne.
One of the hacks talks about bindkey which I find great.. it also mentions 
"Although it is possible to bind keys to numerical escape sequences, I 
don't find that very convenient".

Looking at the output of bindkeys I see a number of those escape codes. 
What do they correspond to? Responses from special keys (ie windows key on 
a MS Windows friendly keyboard) or ALT+Key combos?
