How to fix certain keys not working not different applications in OpenBSD 6.3

The home, end, page up, page down, alt, and etc. aren't detected the same in every application. For example, in emacs the home and end keys aren't being interpreted properly and have a ~ in their place while home and end work fine in ksh and irssi. Do I have to manually bind keys for each individual application which deviates or is there something I can do with my keyboard layout. I'm tried changing the keyboard type with:

Code:

wsconsctl keyboard2.type=pc-xt

But then I get an error saying:

Code:

keyboard2.type: read only

How do I fix this?

Disclaimer ... I've never remapped a single key and can only point you to docs.

Key mapping of the console is done via kbd(8), wsconsctl(8), and wsconsctl.conf(5) per http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq7.html#Keyboard

Key mapping in X uses setxkbmap(1), xkbcomp(1), xkbprint(1), and xkeyboard-config(7).
