That's not really how terminals work. Terminals are text driven and
communication happens by sending ASCII codes.

^P is 0x10 in ASCII. There is no code for ^p (lower-case). More advanced
sequences (like arrow keys, Home, F keys, etc.) are done by sending the
escape key (0x1b) followed by several more characters.

I don't think there is any terminal emulator that allows separating ^P
from ^p?
