True. In this case, I was referring to the behavior I saw
with xterm on one machine and gnome-terminal on another. I
also see the same ^[[Z sequence using PuTTY from a WinXP
box. (Just verified the latter.)

That I'll buy. :-)

Or, at least, you can only rely on the common sequences
available on the range of terminal software available to
expect to be available to you. For instance, in my case,
if I felt like breaking my hand pressing Ctrl-Tab, I could
safely bind it, since the three clients I use regularly
support it.
Based on ergonomics alone, I personally have no interest in
binding this key combination. ;-)
