 I plan to change these behaviors in the next release.
 (see doc/en/ReleaseNote)

 Originally kh and @7 of termcap should be applied in the
application cursor key mode(ESC[?1h), but kh and @7 of
mlterm (3.1.4 or before) termcap works in the normal mode.
 So I think kh and @7 of mlterm termcap should work in
the application cursor key mode instead of the normal mode.
 As a result, the sequence generated by Home or End key
in the normal mode is always \E[H or \E[F (same as xterm)
in the current hg head.

 This change breaks the backward compatibility, so
I might think of the way to keep the backward compatibility
if necessary.

> Also something I noticed: the default behaviour of back-scrolling when the terminal is outputting is to scroll parallel to the output (the alternative is to disable scrolling completely). Is this intended? Other terminal emulators would exit back-scrolling mode instead and hit the bottom, just as they would do on keypress.

 This hebavior is intended.
 I implemented it from the beginning because of my preference.
