Try the codes for Find and Select instead.

It seems to me this would be cleaner to do at an earlier stage: in
terminfo/termcap (as you mentioned), or via the .lynx-keymaps file
mechanism, than in lynx.cfg.  The lynx code will still think that
0x10C is INSERT_KEY and that 0x105 is PGUP, even if those "lynxkeycodes"
are mapped to different "lynxactioncodes".  I would expect those keys
not to work as expected in the line editor.
