Queries the terminal for all capability-based input sequences and then adds on a terminal-dependent input sequence mapping.

Terminfo is incomplete. The vim source implies that terminfo is also incorrect. Vty assumes that the internal terminfo table added to the system-provided terminfo table is correct.

The procedure used here is:

1. Build terminfo table for all caps. Missing caps are not added.
2. Add tables for visible chars, esc, del, ctrl, and meta.
3. Add internally-defined table for given terminal type.

Precedence is currently implicit in the compile algorithm.

Esc, meta-esc, delete, meta-delete, enter, meta-enter.

A classification table directly generated from terminfo cap strings. These are:

• ka1 - keypad up-left
• ka3 - keypad up-right
• kb2 - keypad center
• kbs - keypad backspace
• kbeg - begin
• kcbt - back tab
• kc1 - keypad left-down
• kc3 - keypad right-down
• kdch1 - delete
• kcud1 - down
• kend - end
• kent - enter
• kf0 - kf63 - function keys
• khome - KHome
• kich1 - insert
• kcub1 - left
• knp - next page (page down)
• kpp - previous page (page up)
• kcuf1 - right
• kDC - shift delete
• kEND - shift end
• kHOM - shift home
• kIC - shift insert
• kLFT - shift left
• kRIT - shift right
• kcuu1 - up

The key table applicable to all terminals.

Note that some of these entries are probably only applicable to ANSI/VT100 terminals.

Visible characters in the ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 common set.

We limit to < 0xC1. The UTF8 sequence detector will catch all values 0xC2 and above before this classify table is reached.
