** [tickets:#60] Unable to use the shift key in tmux.conf**

I was unable to bind the 'Shift' key to a command in my 'tmux.conf' on either
OS X or Ubuntu/Debian. The manual doesn't include the 'Shift' key among the
keys you could use in keybindings and only mentions 'Space', 'Tab', etc.
I understand that there's some ambiguity when it comes to 'Shift + [alpha]'
where '[alpha]' is an alphabetic character, but in this case, I was trying to
bind 'Shift + Tab'.
These answers on Stackoverflow seem to suggest that it's possible
([1](http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/5998/how-do-i-bind-to-shiftarrow-in-tmux)
and
[2](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15470001/bind-ctrltab-and-ctrlshifttab-in-tmux)).
Am I missing something or has tmux 1.8, the developer version, changed in this
regard? Thanks for your help.
