I have just tested rxvt 2.7.10 from Fedora 24. The input mapping works 
fine for me, I have no issues with controlling vim, etc. FYI, the value 
of my $TERM is "rxvt".

However, I have to switch to C locale in order to see reasonable output 
of non-alphanumeric characters (i.e. in Midnight Commander). This is not 
so surprising, the latest version of rxvt has been released in 2003 and 
its support for Unicode (UTF-8) is very poor. Therefore I suggest you 
switch to some other, more actively maintained terminal emulator.
