Description: Archlinux is not configured to work with PuTTY default settings.
(I my world is a bug, but I think the maintainers wouldn't agree :-P)

Additional info:
I might have a wrong perception of PyTTY, but would it be wrong to say it's the de facto standard of terminal programs?
I find it strange Archlinux is not configured to work with PuTTY default settings in regards to HOME(start-of-line), END(end-of-line) and the numpad.

Last tested with the newest PuTTY 0.71 and Archlinux ISO from 13. april 2019 (but it has been like this at least for the past 2-3 years, probably "always")

It's a pity you have to struggle with such trivial issue every time you install/ISO-boot Archlinux.

But maybe there are good reasons for this?

To get it to work correctly I do the following:
#bindkey "^[[1~" beginning-of-line
#bindkey "\e[4~" end-of-line

And for numpad to work:

IMHO the "de facto standard" applies for MS Windows only...
For Linux I use one of the terminal programs in combination with openssh' cli tool 'ssh'.

There's nothing we change... All settings are from upstream source tarball.

I just don't have these issues with Debian, Ubuntu or any other distros (as I can recall).
But maybe they change the default settings from the upstream source tarball.
But if you use the default configuration then just close this request.
I've made a script to fix it.
It was just to make it easier for others new users who use Windows as client as me ;-)
