Argl, this means the only way to use both separately is to undefine
KEY_BACKSPACE or uncomment that code there?
Ugh, this doesn't even help: although it lists both with separate
functions, still the BS key doesn't produce the HISTORY function
as desired but some DOWN_LINK.

Uh, here it produces this:
GETCH: Got 0x107.
LYReadCmdKey(0) ->End (0x107)

Is this "normal" or even "ok"?

I've seen the list before, I wasn't looking for the literal
translation, but rather why and how this happens the way it happens
with ncurses.
