Hmm... I was guessing that xterm had no way to pass a "shift-tab" to an application, but actually it looks like I was wrong; it works for Emacs, so it presumably works (or could work) for Sage. xterm sends ESC [ Z I have no idea how hard it would be to actually catch that. (In the worst case, I could imagine that we would have to modify both readline and IPython.) I also don't know what other terminal emulators besides xterm do.
