The application is hardcoded to look for pre-2009 xterm sequences.
Particularly the ^[O2S style sequences. It does not use ncurses at all.
That's bad. Do you have the source code? Adding few tigetstr calls
should fix it.

Is there some community or commercial out-cry to keep changing the xterm
sequences? If so, can you please direct me to it? I haven't seen it.
It's just the SHIFT+F1 - SHIFT+F4 keys causing all the trouble. I guess
I'm too stupid to understand why these sequences are a moving target. I
guess 99% of FOSS apps use ncurses so they never see this issue. I'm
alone in this issue. Would that be a correct statement?
Possibly. Most terminal applications use terminfo or termcap.
