How about the mintty manual?

There's no standard for Ctrl+Tab, which is to say, xterm sends the
same as for plain Tab.

MinTTY sends "\e[1;5I" for Ctrl+Tab and "\e[1;6I" for Ctrl+Shift+Tab.


>>cat .inputrc
> # use ctrl-left/right to jump between words
> ";5C": forward-word
> ";5D": backward-word
>
> # enable inline completion
> TAB: menu-complete
> ";5C": forward-word
> ";5D": backward-word
> ";5I": reverse-menu-complete

Those are incomplete, i.e. you're relying on readline swallowing part
of the keycode.

Those should be:
"\e[1;5C": forward-word
"\e[1;5D": backward-word
"\e[1;5I": reverse-menu-complete

Have a look at the tips section of the mintty manual as well; it's got
some more key bindings you might want.
