Thanks Roberto E. Vargas Caballero! You were committing this patch against the
wrong version of the FAQ, so I had to rewrite it.

But buggy applications like bash and irssi for example don't do this. A fast
solution for them is to use the following command:
$ echo ^[?1h^[= >/dev/tty
$ printf "\033?1h\033=" >/dev/tty
or
$ echo $(tput smkx) >/dev/tty

If you are using zsh, then read the zsh FAQ
(http://zsh.sourceforge.net/FAQ/zshfaq03.html#l25):
It should be noted that the O / [ confusion can occur with other keys
such as Home and End. Some systems let you query the key sequences
sent by these keys from the system's terminal database, terminfo.
Unfortunately, the key sequences given there typically apply to the
mode that is not the one zsh uses by default (it's the "application"
mode rather than the "raw" mode). Explaining the use of terminfo is
outside of the scope of this FAQ, but if you wish to use the key
sequences given there you can tell the line editor to turn on
"application" mode when it starts and turn it off when it stops:
function zle-line-init () { echoti smkx }
function zle-line-finish () { echoti rmkx }
zle -N zle-line-init
zle -N zle-line-finish
Putting these lines into your .zshrc will fix the problems.
