I almost went crazy trying to do this (well, allright, I *did* go crazy,
but not from just this :-])...
One problem is that when you are in vt220 mode, your ESCAPE key no
longer generates the ESCAPE character (ascii 27), it generates
"CSI 2 3 ~" instead (for use as F11). Therefore, another key (no pun
intended) question is: how do you generate ESC from the keyboard in
vt220 mode? (When in vt100 mode, ESC is generated using the ESC/F11 key).
I wrote a termcap that seems to work otherwise, but vt220 mode is
useless to me if the result is that you have no ESCAPE key.
Am I missing something?
