Subject: Re: install/29159: Insert Home End Keys does not work

 My ~/.inputrc contains the following and it's used by everything compiled
 against readline e.g., bash:
 
 "\e[3~": delete-char
 "\e[7~": beginning-of-line
 "\e[8~": end-of-line
 "=1B[1~": beginning-of-line
 "=1B[4~": end-of-line
 
 Home/End work perfectly on the console and in xterm. If an application
 is supposed to support a default behaviour for such keys, it has to
 use termcap or terminfo. Otherwise, it's impossible for an application
 to figure out the character sequence emitted by these. So you either
 need to configure this manually like above or go through a calibration
 procedure.
