	+Why doesn't the Del key work in some programs?
	+
	+Taken from the terminfo manpage:
	+
	+ If the terminal has a keypad that transmits codes when the keys
	+ are pressed, this information can be given. Note that it is not
	+ possible to handle terminals where the keypad only works in
	+ local (this applies, for example, to the unshifted HP 2621 keys).
	+ If the keypad can be set to transmit or not transmit, tive these
	+ codes as smkx and rmkx. Otherwise the keypad is assumed to
	+ always transmit.
	+
	+In the st case smkx=\E[?1h\E= and rmkx=\E[?1l\E>, so it is mandatory that
	+applications which want to test against keypad keys, have to send these
	+sequences.
	+
	+But buggy applications like bash and irssi for example don't do this. A fast
	+solution for them is to use the following command:
	+
	+ $ echo ^[?1h^[= >/dev/tty
	+
	+or
	+ $ echo $(tput smkx) >/dev/tty
	+
	+In the case of bash it is using readline, which has a different not in its
	+manpage:
	+
	+ enable-keypad (Off)
	+ When set to On, readline will try to enable the
	+ application keypad when it is called. Some systems
	+ need this to enable arrow keys.
	+
	+Adding this option to your .inputrc will fix the keypad problem for all
	+applications using readline.
