Get Shift + TAB in ncurses.

[andmarti@gmail.com]

Anyone can help me getting the shift + tab key combination ?
I tried with getch () but with no success.
May be using the sys.stdin ??

Please, help would be very appreciated.

It's generally not possible. Most terminals I have used send the
same character (ASCII code 9) when you press Shift-Tab as when
you press Tab. You can't differentiate between Ctrl-X and
Shift-Ctrl-X either, or between Tab and Ctrl-I.

Your specific terminal may be sending some other character
sequence when you press Shift-Tab (my Xterm sends ESC [ Z by
default), or you may be able to program it to do so, but that
will only apply to your terminal, not to anyone else's.
