Actually I've been carefully through ksh man, and if I try to use prefix-2 more than once it just applies to the last entry, e.g.:
bind '^[[3'=prefix-2 bind '^[[3~'=delete-char-forward and here Del works OK, but if I add: bind '^[[7'=prefix-2 bind '^[[7~'=beginning-of-line then Home works but Del does not anymore, and this does not even consider End; as well, trying with: bind '^[['=prefix-2 bind '^[[3~'=delete-char-forward bind '^[[7~'=beginning-of-line bind '^[[8~'=end-of-line yields a flawlessly working Del, plus a working Home and End which, each time pressed, add a nasty tilde at cursor.
