Oh com'on! What is usual then? How do you specify Control-Left?
Meta-Backspace? Alt-up? All the standard bindings used by the most
programs which can grab them...

*How many* keys can one define in terminfo? With exception of
function keys, I think it is 20 or somesuch. Even without using
duplication of PgUp and PageUp even the most primitive keyborads of
today have Tab Esc Enter Backspace + 4 arrows + 6 navigation keys + 4
gray-+/* keys, and you need to multiply by 5 to get all "Normal"
modifiers. And there are Alt-b etc (40 more) to cover...
