Good to know.

Go here:

https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=terminfo&sektion=5

and search for "kcbt".  The second instance of "kcbt" explicitly
defines it as "\E[Z".  At the time the code was written, this was not
the case.  So, to both your questions, yes.

Okay.  I'd do this myself, but I'm not sure how it'd line up with your
local changes to avoid the S-Lang compilation problem, since key
values aren't #ifdefed out anywhere in convert_sequence().  You'd
probably have to add another fake key value (SHIFT_TAB) to nano.h,
reading kcbt from the console the way you do other unusual sequences
like Ctrl-Up.
