END key not working on elvis


When I open a text file using vi (elvis) on Slackware64 14.0 using konsole as the terminal emulator, I cannot move the cursor to the end of the line using the END key. Then I need to use "A" command to execute that action and enter INPUT mode. My /etc/inputrc file seems to be correct, with the END and HOME keys specified:

"\e[1~": beginning-of-line
"\e[4~": end-of-line

This problem happens on Command and Input modes and doesn't happen with another editor like vim or nano. Looks like an elvis issue to me. "HOME", "PAGE UP" and "PAGE DN" keys work as expected.

Sorry, but Elvis left the building some time ago ... ... it seems that he encountered an END key of an entirely different sort.
