           Summary: Alt cursur/home/end sends 2x ESC + patch fixing this
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: RedHat RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: j.w.r.degoede at hhs.nl


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.3)

Description of problem:
konsole sends 2x escape for alt + cursor/home/end keys

How reproducible:
Konsole prefixes all key-sequences with an esc when alt (meta) is pressed. This
is right for normal keys but wrong for keys which already send esc-sequences
(cursor keys, function keys).

Prefixing an esc-sequence with an esc leads to 2 esc's in one sequence 2 esc's
normally is seen as an abort try:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start mcedit in konsole
2. type something
3. press alt left or alt right or alt F6, etc 
    
Actual results:
Save on quit yes/no/cancel

Expected results:
dunno, maybe go word left go word right (this happens in bash) but not the quit
dialog box

This also bites vi, joe, mc itself and probably other apps.
Anyways its just plain wrong. (to send 2 esc's)
