I'm not a st developer, but I've had a look at this. Arrow keys do
need to be handled in a special way, but the arrow keys don't work
with any modifier keys.

Currently st handles an arrow key by printing, eg, "\033[D". With
shift it is "\033[1;2D", with alt "\033[1;3D", and so on. So it needs
to detect bucky bits and react accordingly.
