I've yet to meet a user who thinks about keybindings in terms of "hex
codes", whatever that means.
If you're talking about the ASCII control codes that happen to be

it would just confuse users, the majority of whom these days are using
graphical terminals that deal with key events, not ASCII character
sequences.
