None of which will tell you which sequence the terminal sends when
i.E. you press the <Home> or <End> key :-(.

But Georg's hint to search for "Xterm Control Sequences" turned up
http://sunsite.ualberta.ca/Documentation/Gnu/screen-3.9.4/html_chapter/screen_11.html
which does :-):

Home kh stuff \033[1~
End kH stuff \033[4~
Insert kI stuff \033[2~
Delete kD stuff \033[3~
Page up kP stuff \033[5~
Page down kN stuff \033[6~

My Xterm produces ^[[H~ for HOME and ^[[F~ for END.

You can check that by either pressing ^V and the key in the shell (if
you have readline) or by using cat.
