That works also. I just want the two keys to send different sequences so
that I can bind different functions on them.

I found that also more and csh do this. Perhaps I should change back and try
to give the delete key another sequence (the one from X)?

I just don't want both keys to do the same, which fixes the problems
currently. If they do the same I wouldn't need two of them... :-)

I use zsh.
