Here's a first attempt.  It works for the four arrow keys, but not
for Home, End, PgUp and PgDn -- those keys when held together with
Shift don't produce any code on my terminal emulator.  Also the
interaction with a hard mark isn't done yet.  And also holding
Shift together with Control doesn't work.  If that can't be made
to work, this is going to be more annoying than useful.
