The fix is specific to Linux virtual terminals, the things that use
`loadkeys' and friends to setup the keyboard, and to which you get by
pressing, e.g. C-A-<f1> from X-Windows. I don't know if it would work
without modification in an X-Windows terminal window.
The fix arranges for modifier keys to apply prefixes, so that where
<right> is normally "ESC [ C", C-<right> becomes "ESC [ 1 } ESC [ C" and
C-S-<right> would be "ESC [ 5 } ESC [ C". Additionally, there's some
stuff in the function key map to handle the prefices. It works
flawlessly.
The guy who wrote it, Kalle Niemitalo, doesn't much like GPL-3, and
doesn't want to assign it to the FSF, so it can't become part of Emacs.
I keep meaning to put it up on the Emacs Wiki, though.
