Hello,

again about TERM. My console produces \E[1~ when I press the Home key.

If I ssh to cygwin with TERM=linux or TERM=cygwin set, Home works in
bash as expected.

If I ssh to cygwin with TERM=screen, pressing Home in bash results in
beep and a tilde printed. I've checked infocmp screen output, khome is
set to \E[1~, as in linux and cygwin terminfo entries.

There is more about this. If I ssh to cygwin with TERM=screen and issue
export TERM=cygwin; export TERM=screen commands in the same bash
session, Home starts to work as expected.

What is going on? Does sshd inherit some weird values?

Thanks in advance,
Baurjan.
