Been playing remapping some "slime slim, full size Apple" kbd but the results aren't great. Does anybody have a canonical list of VT220 escape codes, preferably in hex (I think my term's escape sequence is broken)..

Why don't you use xterm? The mappings are already correct. And as a bonus, you actually get a VT100 emulation with less bugs.

Sounds like an interesting project would be to do a proper VT2xx emulator (ideally from the DEC terminal SRM, if a copy can be found, failing that from published VT2xx manuals).   Wx would be a good way to do that, since it   s a very useable portable development environment.   Or to make it even more straightforward, in WxPython?

The editing keypad etc work great out of the box on Terminal.app. 

The one thing that annoys me is the location of the PF keys, which are mapped to F1-4.

Going to remap those later.
