My /etc/X11/Xresources/xterm:
! /etc/X11/Xresources/xterm
! Uncomment the following lines to make xterm appear much like a virtual
! console, so that ANSI colors will make more sense.
! XTerm*background: black
! XTerm*foreground: gray90
! Make the backspace key generate ^? instead of ^H, per Debian keyboard policy.
! Make the delete key generate ^[[3~ instead of ^?, per Debian keyboard policy.
! Include override for BackSpace because older xterms do not understand the
! backarrowKey resource.
*VT100.Translations: #override ~Meta <Key>BackSpace: string("\177")\n\
<Key>Delete: string("\033[3~")

Same here.

I'd think so, yes. But on my system, HOME generates \E[H and END generates
\E[F . This doesn't correspond with what terminfo says, so the HOME and
END keys don't o what they're supposed to do.
I have checked all files in /etc/X11/Xresources/, ~/.Xresources and the
output of xrdb -query. Still, I can not find the reason for xterm to
generate \E[H instead of \E[1~ when I press the HOME key. Can anybody
help?
