Colleagues, Could you please help me solve the problem with screen or xterm? From a FreeBSD 9.3 xterm I ssh to a remote host. The "Home" key sends (and the remote application receives) "0x1B 0x5B 0x48" (ESC [ H) which is correct. However, if I start screen on the remote host, the application within the screen's virtual terminal receives "0x1B 0x4F 0x48" for "Home" which is "ESC O H". It results im the "Home" and key not working correctly in vim etc. The "End" key has the same problem. Could someone with a knowledge of screen and termcap in general help me figure out why the keys are so mangled and what I could do to fix this? -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN sip:sudakov@sibptus.tomsk.ru
