In the age of hardware terminals, it might have been reasonable that
the Control key only lets you enter the 33 control characters.
These days? Control and Alt are just modifier keys that can be pressed
with every other key, whether alphabetic, numeric, or functional.
Today’s terminal emulators should learn to pass these to applications
faithfully.
Somebody has even invented an encoding scheme to be able to represent
keys with modifiers:
