Now this is my patch # 3, enhancing / distinguishing escape sequences 
for function keys and keypad keys with modifiers Ctrl, Shift, Alt and 
their various combinations.
It's proper to say that this patch has a details which is not strictly 
upwards compatible; it does two things:

    * Extend modified function keys beyond Shift-F10, upwards compatible
      and compatible with (u)rxvt.
    * Distinguish and extend modified keypad keys; Ctrl- and
      Shift-keypad keys used to send identical escape sequences as
      unmodified keys (which isn't very useful); now they indicate the
      modifier combination using the same ANSI parameter method as xterm
      and mintty for Ctrl and Shift, and the ESC prefixing method used
      by (u)rxvt for Alt (to stay compatible with previous Alt-keypad
      sequences).


The patch diff is based on my previous patch (VT100 line drawing 
graphics mode) which I supplied on Thursday.
Kind regards,
Thomas
