For a Linux Virtual Console, TERM=linux is fine. It describes
correctly the capabilities, commands, and special keys of a Linux
Virtual Console. Therefore application's display is fine, and the <Home>
and <End> keys are properly bindable.
Having TERM=linux in any other terminal is a mistake.
For another terminal, pick an appropriate terminfo entry in the toe
list, and export it in TERM. Example if your X terminal is Rxvt:
| $ toe -a | grep ^rxvt
| rxvt-basic rxvt terminal base (X Window System)
| rxvt+pcfkeys fragment for PC-style fkeys
| rxvt rxvt terminal emulator (X Window System)
| rxvt-color rxvt terminal emulator (X Window System)
| rxvt-256color rxvt 2.7.9 with xterm 256-colors
| rxvt-xpm rxvt terminal emulator (X Window System)
| rxvt-cygwin rxvt terminal emulator (X Window System) on cygwin
| rxvt-cygwin-native rxvt terminal emulator (native MS Window System port)
on cygwin
| rxvt-16color xterm with 16 colors like aixterm
|
| $ export TERM=rxvt-256color
And your keys will be bindable, and garbage display in compose will
cease. Perhaps. Hopefully.
Note: It is much better to configure everything so that terminals do
automatically identify themselves correctly at startup. This will
auto-export the good TERM.
Bye! Alain.
