Using xev I see that X server sends ISO_Left_Tab event, and st has the line

        { XK_ISO_Left_Tab, XK_ANY_MOD, "\033[Z", 0, 0, 0},

in config.def.h, that theoretically should match it, but it doesn't it. I
thought I test this key when I wrote the key assignation, but it is true it
is not working now.

Looking in the repository I can see that the commit 16ccf (Fix tab key)
inserted this code, and I have tested that is such commit it was working, so
we have a regression. I am going try now a bisection and try locate which
commit broken this key.
