Unfortunately, it's not that easy. Those special keys are not stable,
even across a small sample of terminals and terminal emulators. You'd
have to take a look at termcap or terminfo to get a reasonably well
founded escape sequence for them, which also requires the terminal to be
in smkx mode, while the line editor is active.
Zsh does have a terminfo module and it can be used to set up some well
known special keys. But those are best added to a global configuration
file, rather than being hard coded in C. This is what Debian does¹ for
example.
