Possibly. In doing some Ncurses development recently I found a range of
keycodes being sent to an application by the various terminals.
Alt-keys seemed to be consistent amongst them except with Xterm. I left
rxvt alone. ;-)
As for defining the keys, I shied away once dealing with terminfo was
involved. I think it would be easier to configure Emacs. Wouldn't
~/.inputrc be the place to do that? I haven't looked yet.
