I object.

1) The grey keypad keys don't exist on small (laptop) keyboards.
2) I always use numeric keypad (!NumLocked) keys, never the grey keypad keys.
3) The BIOS returns the same characters for the grey keypad keys as for
   the !NumLocked numeric keypad keys.
4) Escape sequences suck.  `stty erase "ESC [ K"' doesn't work...
