This subsection is in 9term(1) in plan9port. Thanks, I hadn't seen it!
Ctrl-0 isn't a real control sequence (if you look at the output
of "ascii", the valid control characters are A through _).
What byte are you trying to type?
I'm trying to map some simple operations to control-sequences, like jumping to the command win, flipping between buffers, and so on. I guess I'll have to do with A.._ chars, avoiding the ones already taken (ctrl-a, ctrl-u, ctrl-w, etc)
You cannot detect the press of the Alt key - the
kernel does that as part of its keyboard handling.
