In this case, there is no "setting" to change this. The problem is simply the lack of the key definitions in the terminfo file. Changing this file isn't practical since changes to it will be lost on next upgrade. At the very least, the keys need to be added to the terminfo definition. Then a setting can be added at some point. -- Shawn Walker
