The keycodes for these changed in 0.3.4 due to being incompatible with
xterm. See http://code.google.com/p/mintty/issues/detail?id=37

Those should be fine actually. That's what mintty sends for Home and
End in 'application cursor mode' since 0.3.7.
Here's what's needed:
\e[1;2A back-line
\e[1;2B forw-line
\e[5;2~ back-screen
\e[6;2~ forw-screen
\eOH goto-line
\eOF goto-end
The back-screen and forw-screen lines allow scrolling by whole pages
at a time by holding down Shift or Ctrl while rolling the mousewheel.
(And don't forget to run lesskey.)
