[Dun Peal]

Ctrl+a Ctrl-1 : 1
Ctrl+a Ctrl-2 : NULL
Ctrl+a Ctrl-3 : ^[ (escape)
Ctrl+a Ctrl-4 : \^ (FS, SIGQUIT in this context)
Ctrl+a Ctrl-5 : ^] (GS)
Ctrl+a Ctrl-6 : ^^ (RS)
Ctrl+a Ctrl-7 : ^_ (US)
Ctrl+a Ctrl-8 : ^? (DEL)
Ctrl+a Ctrl-9 : 9
Ctrl+a Ctrl-0 : (seems like CR, but it prints nothing with either ^v or od)
