It would be weird if it were happening, but I have readline ("~/.inputrc") 
mappings for all the Fn keys and "Insert" and "Delete" as well as the usual 
pre-defined, built-in mappings for the arrow keys. Though I usually keep 
NumLock engaged, the arrow keys on the number pad work fine when I 
disengage it.

I'm experiencing no symptoms of overlap or other problems in the sequences 
generated by the keyboard in "console" Cygwin.
