My O'Reilly 'termcap & terminfo' (long story why I bought it) lists kcud1 (kd termcap) and kcub1 (kl - also correcsponds to bs and bc) as down and left resp. terminfo / termcap may not be enough. The crisp editor defines lots more inside its macro language (because it does 'brief' emulation - things like shift numeric 5) (I mean the source examinable older version of crisp). Also be aware you can set keycodes yourself, using loadkeys. And of course, xmodmap and the keymap table in X. A tunnel without end.
