+# The "PC-style" modifier scheme was introduced in xterm patch #94 (1999/3/27) +# and revised in patch #167 (2002/8/24). +# +# The original assignments from patch #94 for cursor-keys had some technical +# issues: +# +# A parameter for a function-key to represent a modifier is just more +# bits. But for a cursor-key it may change the behavior of the +# application. For instance, emacs decodes the first parameter of a +# cursor-key as a repeat count. +# +# A parameterized string should (really) not begin with SS3 (\EO). +# Rather, CSI (\E[) should be used. +# +# For these reasons, the original assignments were deprecated. For +# compatibility reasons, they are still available as a setting of xterm's +# modifyCursorKeys resource. These fragments list the modified cursor-keys +# that might apply to xterm+pcfkeys with different values of that resource.
