The main problem is that the terminfo databases do not define an entry
for non-standard control keys such as Ctrl-Up. So even `untic` will
not show this information because it is simply not there.  This means
that jed itself has no idea what the terminal uses (if anything) for
this key combination.  In contrast, xjed has much more control over
the keyboard, which is why Ctrl-Up works in xjed but may not work in
jed.

I hope this helps.
