Sorry. I have added lots of such sequences long time ago to my AMC fork
(made from 4.6.0, when my patches were ignored on this list 2 years ago),
and now that i was trying to update my patches for current mc version,
i found that most of them (except for this two) were already added by
you, commented as 'xterm sequences'. i didnt care to test with xterm myself...

Anyway i guess xterm should also emit these, if the keymaps are set
up correctly, unless they are all hand-coded into xterm as hacks.
(the codes show some logic, being constructed from 2 numbers, one
refers to the key and the other to modifiers, so it could be handled
generaly without listing any possible combinations - probably this is
the reason why for example iTerm emits these too)
