Before crossing a road on green light, I first check if there are cars
speeding through the intersection. It's illegal for them to do so, but
I'd rather turn my head than die being right.

I don't know of a downside to key translation I mentioned earlier, so
I'm not even paying the price of turning my head when I use it (or
maybe I do and just don't know it?). If I were using terminfo to fetch
the escape codes for home and end keys, I would still have to hardcode
escape codes for other keys or key combinations as terminfo is rather
sparse in this regard, and I would still have to handle NumLock the
same way I do now. Am I missing something?

I think we are on the same page here.
