After sending \e= (see man console_codes) to either rxvt and the windows console to enable application key pad mode, pressing keypad 1 to 9 shows:
\e[8~\e[B\e[6~\e[D\C-k\e[C\e[7~\e[A\e[5~ This should be: \eOq\eOr\eOs\eOt\eOu\eOv\eOw\eOx\eOy I think this problem was reported 3 years ago and a patch was submitted, but it looks like this got lost / stuck somewhere in Cygwin's bureaucratic machinery. The discussion is archived at the following link: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-04/msg00251.html http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-07/msg00554.html This bug cripples a couple of applications and from the looks of it it shouldn't be too much trouble to get it fixed. Much appreciated if anyone can look into this.
