Yes, but not only must you set TERM=xterm, you must also remove
TEKEN_CONS25 from your kernel configuration or run vidcontrol -T xterm
on that specific window. There is almost no reason why anyone would want
to use the TEKEN_CONS25 option.

Depending on whether the terminal is switched to cursor keys mode, it
will return ^[[H or ^[OH. See /sys/teken/teken.c, teken_get_sequence().

Greetings,
