Ctrl+Tab can be represented by:
^[[27;5;9~
Look at this line is st's config.def.h as a template:
{ XK_ISO_Left_Tab, ShiftMask, "\033[Z", 0, 0},
Therefore add something like:
{ XK_ISO_Left_Tab, ControlMask, "\033[27;5;9~, 0, 0},
AND/OR
{ XK_Tab, ControlMask, "\033[27;5;9~, 0, 0},
I do not know the difference between XK_ISO_Left_Tab and XK_Tab.
Note that I have not actually tried this and I am no expert on the topic. You
might want to update the terminfo database too?
I found the information at
