The termcap/terminfo database. Has what it calls capabilities that describe
each terminal.
The capabilities are:
terminfo name | termcap name | description
khome kh String your terminal sends for the home key.
kend @7 String your terminal sends for the end key.
kich1 ic String your terminal sends for the insert key.
kdch1 kD String your terminal sends for the delete key.
Your terminal type is in your TERM environment variable.
So check your TERM setting, and check your terminal type,
and make sure all of those things are set correctly.
