summary: Keyboard mode to support Intel serial consoles
class: wish: This is a request for an enhancement.
difficulty: fun: Just needs tuits, and not many of them.
priority: low: We aren't sure whether to fix this or not.

Intel's server boards appear to use their own keyboard mapping, which doesn't quite correspond to anything that PuTTY supports:

Key	Normal	Shift	Ctrl	Alt
ESC	^[
F1	^[OP
F2	^[OQ
F3	^[OR
F4	^[OS
F5	^[OT
F6	^[OU
F7	^[OV
F8	^[OW
F9	^[OX
F10	^[OY
F11	^[OZ

Table from SCB2 Server Board Technical Product Specification, Intel order number A70821-003.

I think this would best be handled by:

Adding a function-key mode for it (assuming that that similar VT100+ mode isn't intended to be identical),
Adding an option to have Alt generate a ^[} prefix, and
Ignoring all the other discrepancies (control characters, US keyboard mapping etc).
