           Summary: VT420 keypad support abysmal
           Product: konsole
           Version: 2.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: yyyc186 at hughes.net


Version:           2.0 (using KDE 4.0.5)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

The Keypad mapping simply isn't robust enough to handle any VT keypad
functionality correctly.  When you are logged into an actual OpenVMS box and in
EDT, LSE, EVE, TPU or one of the other keypad oriented editors, the keypad
needs to be in Application Mode.  There is an escape sequence which comes to
the terminal to tell it to send application codes instead of normal codes.  See
this link for the actual escape sequence mapping:

Konsole shows a lot of promise and I would LOVE to use it instead of Xterm when
working with OpenVMS, but you HAVE to have a two level keymap table and
actually have the correct mappings set up.  Don't forget, NumLock needs to be
GOLD which is \E[P.  ScrollLock needs to map to the DO key not ScrollLock
because on a real VT keyboard F1 is the scroll lock.
