Neither Solaris' terminfo database, nor the one from ncurses (S10
companion CD) defines kend & khome for the "xterm" terminal entry.

You should be able to fix this for yourself, by recompiling the "xterm"
terminfo entry, adding "kend" and "khome" key definitions:

kend=\EOF, khome=\EOH,

For example like this:

% mkdir /tmp/foo
% env TERMINFO=/usr/share/lib/terminfo /bin/infocmp xterm >
/tmp/foo/xterm.ti
% echo ' knp=\E[6~, kpp=\E[5~, kend=\EOF, khome=\EOH, ' >>
/tmp/foo/xterm.ti
% env TERMINFO=/tmp/foo /bin/tic -v /tmp/foo/xterm.ti


Using an "xterm" window, the "Home / Pos1" key and the "End" key
can be used to jump to the start and the end of a file:

% env TERMINFO=/tmp/foo less /etc/termcap



If you replace Solaris' compiled xterm terminfo file in
/usr/share/lib/terminfo/x/xterm with the new one, the Home / End
keys can be used in a gnome-terminal, too.
