[BRLTTY] Key combinations not (yet?) handled by the Linux virtual console

Dear all,

I assume the question is more for Nicolas but I am posting here as it
may be of general interest.

It seems the virtual consoles do not (yet?) have the capacity to
distinguish e.g. Enter from Contro-Enter, combine shift with tabl,
control or the arrow keys.

I am wondering whether such limitations are intrinsic to the console and
thus impossible to overcome for some reason, or whether it's just
that the support for such key combinations has not been implemented
yet and could be added?

Thanks,

Seb.
