Subject:	"Application key pad mode" in cygwin console
Mime-Version:	1.0
X-IsSubscribed:	yes
X-MIME-Autoconverted:	from quoted-printable to 8bit by delorie.com id j7MASUen024814

After sending \e= (see man console_codes) to either rxvt and the
windows console to enable application key pad mode, pressing keypad 1
to 9 shows:

\e[8~\e[B\e[6~\e[D\C-k\e[C\e[7~\e[A\e[5~

This should be:

\eOq\eOr\eOs\eOt\eOu\eOv\eOw\eOx\eOy

I think this problem was reported 3 years ago and a patch was
submitted, but it looks like this got lost / stuck somewhere in
Cygwin's bureaucratic machinery. The discussion is archived at the
following link:

This bug cripples a couple of applications and from the looks of it it
shouldn't be too much trouble to get it fixed.

Much appreciated if anyone can look into this.

Igor
