-----Original Message----- From: Andy Koppe <snip/> It is done on purpose, to allow Shift+Esc to be bound to a different function if desired. It's documented here:
[1] http://code.google.com/p/mintty/wiki/Keycodes#Special_keys Shift+ESC sends the Unicode codepoint U+009B, aka the Control Sequence Introducer (CSI) character. <snip/> -----END Original Message----- My experience does not agree with the "Special keys" table at the page referenced by that URL. When pressing the unmodified Pause/Break key, I get ^], which maps to Pause in your table, and pressing Ctrl+Pause/Break, I get ^\, which maps to Break in your table, so this agrees with the statement, "Pause and Break usually share a key, whereby Ctrl has to be pressed to get the Break function." But, when I press Shift+Pause/Break, because I'm not pressing Ctrl, I should get your table's Pause/Shift result, U+009C, but I get 9D. Similarly, when I press Ctrl+Shift+Pause/Break, because I am pressing Ctrl, I should get your table's Break/Shift result, U+009D, but I get 9C. Also, when I press either Ctrl+Tab or Ctrl+Shift+Tab, instead of getting what the table indicates, I don't get anything at all. --Ken Nellis
