Re: Mapping some keys, like ctrl-[ and ctrl-]

Yes, I don't see ever using the X interface.  The curses interface is 
fast when working on machines in other countries, and you never have to 
worry about how compatible your X server is.  Though, you do have 
certain terminal anomalies to worry about.

Is there a way to genericize the tui interface so that one interface 
would work for both?
