my THE key mapping

This is my current map on Linux with a Logitech keyboard. My old LK map is elsewhere.

Legenda

For each key there is a cell with three lines :

the top lines on default background shows the key label on my Logitech keyboard
the second line is the Xcurses THE assignment, with the key name as given by SHOWKEY and the function assigned to it. This appears in red on yellow.
the third line is the curses THE assignment (in black on cyan).
if the key is dead it appears with black background.
if the key is not assigned it appears with gray bacgkround.

Normal keypad

Only two non-alphanumeric keys are normally in use. The other prefix keys can in principle be assigned to individual functions, but it makes no much sense.

Control sequences

Sequences with ALT are not assigned (inactive in terminal)
Sequences with CONTROL are almost all assigned, however in terminal the following are not available as they interfere with stty : control-O, Q, S and V.
