I couldn't seem to make 'HOME' key work on my remote windows ssh client to a Fedora Core3 server (the home key works perfectly when i'm physically on site.)
To my surprise, using control+V it seems that both my home and insert key send the same escape sequence ^[[2~, so when I press home in VI it actually toggles replace mode. How could this be possible? I've edited /etc/inputrc and every key works perfectly on site. So it must be my windows SSH client (the free one from www.ssh.com) that has problems.

my $TERM=xterm
controlVBackspace gives ^H (works)
controlVDel gives ^? (function as backspace in remote ssh )
controlVHOME gives ^[[2~ (functions as insertin remote ssh )
controlVEND gives ^[[4~ (works fine!!! remotely )
