shift / control modifiers in ncurses

According to the ncurses faq:

How can I use shift- or control-modifiers?

The standard response is "curses doesn't do that".

There are workarounds. Some explanation is needed first.

Apparently I need to define extended descriptions to add to a terminfo description - how do I do that? I can't find any examples in the faq or google. I'm using rxvt-unicode, and all I want to do is bind shift-space to pageup in vim's normal mode.

Re: shift / control modifiers in ncurses

Can't you map it in vim?

map <C-b> <PageUp>

works for me.

I hope you can get it to work w/ Shift-space.
