No.  If it's possible for nano to detect a modifier (under the
limitations of curses, of course), it should. Ideally, nano should
behave as follows:

* Holding Ctrl and pressing A should generate the Ctrl-A character.
* Holding Alt and pressing A should generate the Escape character
followed by the A character.
* Holding Ctrl and Alt and pressing A should generate the Escape
character followed by the Ctrl-A character.

Your proposed code change looks fine to me.
