something like that - there doesn't seem to be a clean way to do this
if there is more than one keycode associated with the same string.
Going the other way (multiple strings per keycode) is something that I
added to ncurses a while back.

maybe (I don't do much work _on_ mutt, but am offering advice for people
with problems related to ncurses and the terminfo database). Perhaps
a configuration variable (mutt doesn't seem to have conditional statements
in its configuration).
