I don't think it's possible. The terminal emulator would have to send different bytes from those sent when the Space key is pressed, which isn't the case. Same problem as Control-Shift-A and Control-A, Control-I and Tab, and probably others as well. > If that binding can be achieved with the .infokey file, please > tell me how, because I can't figure it out from info info-stnd cus. Only solution is to configure the terminal emulator to send a different sequence for Shift-Space (e.g. Delete or Backspace) and make sure that is bound instead.
