It looks like that's the case for Ctl, anyway, and maybe for Shf.
Given, thanks to my new friend Bob, the handy
perl -lpe '$_ = join " ", unpack("c*", $_)'
to take input per line and spit out key codes and then running
echo "ctl-v f1" | ...
echo "ctl-v shf-f1" | ...
echo "ctl-v ctl-ft" | ...
we get
27 79 80
27 91 50 51 126
27 79 80
(where F1 and Ctl-F1 appear as '^[OP' and Shf-F1 is '^[[23~'), so there
is no difference whatsoever between F1 and C-F1, while S-F1 might be
tricky to recognize because it's longer (and, in fact, the same as F11,
as Kurt showed).
Hmmm... The keyboard stops at F12, but Shf-F3 carries on in the same
fashion. Perhaps one could use the shifted keys as long as one expects
to only go 1-10 and for 11&12 to be mapped back over to the other side...
Anyway, I've forgotten how to (if you can!) define macros by key code,
but perhaps a macro rather than a binding would do the trick.
