Last year I searched through the distro repos for a real VT100 (preferably VT320) emulator for Linux. EVERY ONE which claimed such support failed spectacularly trying to connect to a real OpenVMS machine via telnet. Even Putty has become horrible.
Everything was soooo good when I wrote that DEC application book. Now it has all gone to ...
Part of me gets honked off enough to take a fork of Konsole or one of the other terminals and try to get it added to Debian once it is fixed. Then the realist says "Every distro will let some 12 year old boy be the package _maintainer_ and they will keep deleting everything which doesn't work with VIM."
Sorry to completely nuke this thread, but, original poster, when it comes to keystrokes in Linux terminal packages, you are standing naked at the beginning of a journey which will require you to belly crawl 6 miles over broken glass in a vomit filled alley.

I offered the genetic misfit access to my DS-10 Alpha so he could actually test with the living breathing definition of VT100. (You'll find NONE of the numeric keypad works in EDT or LSE when you are terminaled into and actual OpenVMS platform.)I selected jed as my favourite editor 20 years ago, because it was close to LSE and it supported an excellent numeric keypad editing in EDT mode. This was THE killer feature for me as a long time VMS user. But all GNOME based terminal emulators do not have an application keypad mode. "Not invented here". So I keep xterm, which works fine.
