Why do you have to define keysyms for jed?  If you look at
jed/lib/keydefs.sl, you will find that the variable Key_Shift_Tab has
been defined.  In fact, for Unix, this variable's value is set to 
"ESC [ Z", if there is no corresponding value in the terminal
database.  By looking at that file, you will also note that many
key combinations, e.g., Ctrl-Insert corresponding entries in the
terminal database.

It also appears that Xjed does not assign a key-sequence for
Shift-TAB.  For the next release I will adopt ESC[Z for it.  In the
mean time, you can add:

   #ifdef XWINDOWS
   x_set_keysym (0xFF09, '$', "\e[Z");
   #endif

to your .jedrc file.

I hope this helps.
