Make a table of the escape sequences and match them.  :)

When you strike the home key, whether in a GUI terminal or a VT, ESC
"OH" is exactly what gets sent to the stdin file handle.  This is

just different behavior.

If you think Mono should abstract this behavior then file a bug.

I have not used it, but others may have.
