I don't know about Dave's program but a real VT100 does have two modes for
both the keypad and the cursor keys.
The application mode for the keypad is set by  ESC=
and numeric mode is set by ESC>
For the cursor keys application mode is set by  ESC[?1h
and cursor mode is set by  ESC[?1l
There is also VT52 mode which can be turned on by the seq.  ESC[?2l
If you don't cover them all (and there may be more) you will
of course find applications which don't work.
