There are two columned - one for RESET and one for

simple universe, I press a key and a series of codes gets sent to the

In the the case of the VT100 (which probably is the one you're
probably interested in), keypad application mode is entered with
esc [?1h (i.e. "set")
and exited with
esc [?1l (note the lowercase "L"; i.e. "reset")
The reason for the names is that in "reset" mode, the cursor keypad
generates cursor movement commands. Also note that the keypad may
be put into numeric mode with "esc >" .
