These are used when setting up how escape-prefixed keys are interpreted, so pressing Alt-plus-key is recognized correctly on these terminals.\n\n**Why**\n\nWithout recognizing these terminal families, Alt key combinations could be misinterpreted, so this fixes key handling for people using `st` or `rxvt`-based terminals.\n\n- Area: Terminal UI\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
