It seems that mintty in Cygwin under Windows-7 does not pass C-`
(Control-backtick, in US keyboard this is the key above the tab) nor
C-~ (or Control-Shift-backtick) to terminal applications. Any reason
for that?
A quick test [3] in shortcut override mode [1] suggests that mintty
never receives that key combination in the first place.
However, trying the same test in xterm, I get \000 and \036 for C-` and
C-~, respectively. Neither of those seems to be correct [2] (\000 is ^@
and \036 is ^^), but it's still odd that xterm can receive key codes
that mintty misses.
Maybe someone who knows more about terminals and key mappings can comment?
