Re: Bug#118914: emacs21: Home and End key do not work as before.

[Richard Stallman]

    On those terminals where different sequences are produced, one way I
    see to solve this is to put the sequence for C-<home> into an
    appropriate file in lisp/term, so that Emacs will load it at startup.
    That's assuming that the above sequences are not something that is
    determined by some Debian-specific keyboard setup.

I believe Emacs normally gets these sequences from termcap or
terminfo.  Do these terminal programs have the right data in
termcap or terminfo?  Maybe that is where the fix should be.

gnome-terminal, xterm and the linux (kernel) console are important
kinds of terminals, so it is worth installing Lisp files to support
them better, if that's what's needed.  I don't know what rxvt is;
maybe that is important too.

TERM in the gnome-terminal is xterm, so Emacs can't distinguish
gnome-terminal from xterm.  However, the correct support for xterm
will also handle gnome-terminal as well as can be done.
