Ah, that is a good reference. I too see kH as "lower-left key (home
down)". The "1" key in the lower left of the number pad is also labeled
as "End" (for every PC keyboard that I've seen anyway). But when I go
back to using 'bind -k kH focus bottom', using the number pad "1" key
doesn't seem to do anything, whether the NumLock is on or not.

Curiously, there's also K4 described as "lower left of keypad" and with a
varible name of key_c1.

So, this leads me to wonder if the screen manuals should reflect @7
instead of kH for the End key.
