Hello Wilfred.

14 Mar 24 08:55, you wrote to me:

You're completely right. That's the reason. And when you change terminal type,
ncurses expects different escape sequences.

My settings are:
terminal type putty

Then in Terminal->Keyboard:

The Backspace key -> Control-?
The Home and End keys -> Standard
The Function keys and keypad -> ESC[n~
Shift/Ctrl/Alt with the arrow keys -> Ctrl toggles app mode
Initial state of cursor keys -> Normal
Initial state of numeric keypad -> Normal
AltGf acts as Compose key -> off
Control-Alt is different from AltGf -> on

In Terminal->Features all is off except "Disable application keypad mode"

 WvV>>> I can spend a lot of time on it, or keep my current working

 VA>> Sure. If that works for you. I'm just trying to help. :)
 WvV> And that is highly appreciated!

Try my settings. It could work.
