Hi drl,
Many thanks for taking the time to provide such an extensive answer - the support provided on this forum is really extraordinary. I could not have produced a script like yours with all the bells and whistles but the central for-if-else-loop seems indeed pretty straightforward.
I'm aware I should probably familiarize with awk but as a lay programmer (I use MATLAB quite a bit but that's about it) I find its syntax not particularly intuitive and time is just such a limited resource... *sigh*
In any case, many thanks again - both you and Rudi have been super helpful!

The numbers 0-9 are chosen to correspond to the numeric keypad on your terminal. Cdk does not handle the application mode keypad control
sequences, since those are not defined via terminfo. To use the numeric keypad you should ensure that it is in normal (or NumLock) mode.
