If you input a character stream, that's the case since the characters are Unicode code points. AFAIK, Unicode doesn't have Ctrl-TAB as a separate code point. However, X11 key events come with modifiers. Thus, CAPS-A, LeftShift-A, RightShift-A, CAPS-LeftShift-RightShift-A and the plain A are different key events (provided the physical keyboard plays along).
