Sorry I accidentally hit shift-enter and apparently that makes my email
client send.

Because that is the character sent by the key in this position with this
expected function (i.e. the <x] key above enter) on DEC terminals. It's
also, for better or worse, what modern linux systems have standardized
on (I haven't done a survey of bsd, solaris, etc).

What is Home?

        { XK_Home, ShiftMask, "\033[2J", 0, -1,
        0},
        { XK_Home, ShiftMask, "\033[1;2H", 0, +1,
        0},
        { XK_Home, XK_ANY_MOD, "\033[H", 0, -1,
        0},
        { XK_Home, XK_ANY_MOD, "\033[1~", 0, +1,
        0},
        { XK_End, ControlMask, "\033[J", -1, 0,
        0},
        { XK_End, ControlMask, "\033[1;5F", +1, 0,
        0},
        { XK_End, ShiftMask, "\033[K", -1, 0,
        0},
        { XK_End, ShiftMask, "\033[1;2F", +1, 0,
        0},
        { XK_End, XK_ANY_MOD, "\033[4~", 0, 0,
        0},

Find is ESC[1~, Select is ESC[4~. No other codes here are from DEC
terminals.
