I don't know why your setup would be acting funny, but the details
about binding keys can be found in the zshzle man page.

I'm using cygwin at the moment (I know, I know) and had been meaning
to fix a few of its keys for a long time.  You motivated me to finally
do it!  I fired up vi on my .zshrc and added this line:

bindkey "^[[3~" delete-char

That worked for me.  After the first quote, I did control-v [delete
key].  If you cut and pasted that line from somewhere, you may not
have gotten the correct characters, so I'd suggest doing it like I
did.  For the home and end keys, I did something similar:

bindkey "^[[H" beginning-of-line
bindkey "^[[F" end-of-line

For me, for some strange reason, I was getting "^[OF" in vi.  So be
careful of that....

Anyway, hope that helps; there may be better ways to accomplish this.
