Reading vt100 docs/relying on nim's terminal is not enough, it's best to test everything out there. Different terminal emulators, a few different OS'es or distros and also windows specific emulators.
Unless otherwise specified, everything falls back to Artix linux (basically the same versions of software as arch), x86_64, nim 1.4.2.

Notes (open in a text editor to see this section well)
urxvt: Ctrl+down outputted a "b", so most likely different escape sequence (not the usual vt100). The following sequences are in out of the box urxvt: ctrl up: 27, 79, 97 ctrl down: 27, 79, 98 ctrl left: 27, 79, 100 ctrl right: 27, 79, 99 ctrl pgup: 27, 91, 53, 94 ctrl pgdn: 27, 91, 54, 94 ctrl home: 27, 91, 55, 94 ctrl end: 27, 91, 56, 94 home: 27, 91, 55, 126 end: 27, 91, 56, 126 already should be fixed, will update at next testing date
tmux, the following input differs: end: 27, 91, 52, 126 home: 27, 91, 49, 126 (ctrl versions fine)
tty: ctrl makes no difference on arrow keys home: 27, 91, 49, 126 end: 27, 91, 52, 126 home/end already should be fixed, will update at next testing date
freebsd tty: ctrl makes no difference on arrow keys
nim 1.0.0: already should be fixed, will update at next testing date
