That is correct .. nevertheless with ncurses-6.4-20240120.patch the block
vt100+4bsd is used in rxvt-basic before rxvt+pcfkeys ... I've now changed
order to be sure that rxvt+pcfkeys wins over vt100+4bsd.

And in rxvt+pcfkeys I had changed the kcu* keys to use the keys which
is used in application cursor key mode (keypad_xmit) of urxvt and
urxvt-256color.

Here rxvt+pcfkeys differs due to my patch to support the urxvt and
urxvt-256color.  As otherwise I'll flooded with bug reports ;)
