So the issue is that SSH uses the ASCII definitions for what can be passed, and things like Control-Shift aren't defined in the ASCII C0 control set.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=C0_and_C1_control_codes&oldid=869654887#C0_controls

So they aren't passed because they aren't part of the character set of the protocol. So yes, it's SSH not passing it because it doesn't exist to SSH 😞

That's too bad.

Do you have any link where it says that ssh uses these definitions? Maybe there is a way around it.

Can't find one, not with OpenSSH. Tectia supports it, but is crap in general. If you search on it, everyone talks about the ASCII limits of SSH. You'll find SFTP / SCP have the ASCII / Binary option for connections because of the underlying ASCII protocol in use.

Thanks, I'll dig around and see if I can find something. Otherwise I'll just have accept that it is what it is 🙂
