Package: ncurses-base Version: 5.7-1 Severity: normal Hi,
I'm in an XTerm (package version 237-1): % echo $TERM xterm % infocmp -L G -Eo 'key_(home|end|up|down)=[^,]*' key_down=\EOB key_end=\EOF key_home=\EOH key_up=\EOA but XTerm sends these sequences: % read ^[[B^[[4~^[[1~^[[A They match the sequences defined for the linux console and comply with the recommend “9.8. Keyboard configuration” of the Debian Policy: % infocmp -L linux G -Eo 'key_(home|end|up|down)=[^,]*' key_down=\E[B key_end=\E[4~ key_home=\E[1~ key_up=\E[A So you should change the terminfo for xterm otherwise some programs might not work, because they expect wrong key sequences read from the terminfo.
