If this is enabled (and supported by your terminal), xterm will send a response like CSI 27; <modifier>; <decimal_key> CSI being ESC [ However, I believe this only works properly, if your terminal application (so mutt) understands and supports this scheme. As far as I know, mutt doesn't, but apparently your Emacs does (and Vim also supports this scheme for a few years). So I think, this is currently not usable from within mutt. regards, Christian -- To give happiness is to deserve happiness.
