Hello,

I seems that the terminfo entry for xterm has incorrect khome and kend:
khome=\EOH, kend=\EOF.

I used xterm to determine what it actually sends for khome and kend, which is:
khome=\E[H, kend=\E[F.

I found this issue while using konsole, which impersonates xterm, and did not
work properly with my Zsh configured to bind key according to terminfo. I
thought it was a bug in konsole wich may not have implemented the same bindings
as xterm, but it appears that it does implement them as xterm. So in fact the
same problem affects both xterm and konsole.

By the way, the terminfo entry for konsole has the same problem, but as
Debian's console impersonates xterm it does not matter.

Regards,
