Otherwise it's used to set the 'window' option.
+Previously <Home> and <xHome> could be mapped separately. This had the
+disadvantage that all mappings (with modifiers) had to be duplicated, since
+you can't be sure what the keyboard generates. Now all <xHome> are internally
+translated to <Home>, both for the keys and for mappings. Also for <xEnd>,

Move the help for printing to a separate help file. It's quite a lot now.
+The pattern matching code was changed from a recursive function to an
+iterative mechanism. This avoids out-of-stack errors. State is stored in
+allocated memory, running out of memory can always be detected. Allows
+matching more complex things, but Vim may seem to hang while doing that.

":breakadd here" and ":breakdel here" can be used to set or delete a

+Not all modifiers were recognized for xterm function keys. Added the
+possibility in term codes to end in ";*X" or "O*X", where X is any character
+and the * stands for the modifier code.
+Added the <xUp>, <xDown>, <xLeft> and <xRight> keys, to be able to recognize
+the two forms that xterm can send their codes in and still handle all possible
+modifiers.
