Unfortunately, there is no <> notation for the "Stop" key. Also, I have
never been able to get any of these notations to work. For example, I took
the following lines:
map <Esc>[224z :set paste!\|set paste?<CR>
set pastetoggle=<Esc>[224z
which work fine in my xterm window, allowing the F1 key to toggle paste
mode on/off. I then change them to:
map <F1> :set paste!\|set paste?<CR>
set pastetoggle=<F1>
and now the F1 key does not work at all, despite the fact that the terminfo
definition for xterm properly defines the mapping:
kf1=\E[224z
I have never been able to understand why the <> mnemonics have never worked,
but this is why all the mappings in my .vimrc file use the escape code
sequences.

This was a great idea but, unfortunately, it had no effect whether I set
ttimeoutlen anywhere from 1 to 10000.

This certainly seems logical. I don't know why the suggestion above didn't
work. However, I really appreciate your help. Thanks.
