In the same line that Wojciech on the PR ".cshrc should be updated for
modern hardware" I always set this ones on /usr/share/skel/dot.cshrc

bindkey "\e[1~" beginning-of-line #make Home key work;
bindkey "\e[2~" overwrite-mode #make Ins key work;
bindkey "\e[3~" delete-char #make Delete key work;
bindkey "\e[4~" end-of-line #make End key work;

Besides that I add an "if [ -d $HOME/bin ]" and add it to $PATH if it
exists, but that has nothing to do with ".cshrc should be updated for
modern hardware" ... it jsut comes in really handy.

my 2 cents
