Ctrl-Shift key combos not working for letter keys

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. add the following lines to .inputrc (everything else is commented out):
"\x81": beginning-of-line
"\xC2\x81": beginning-of-line
2. start mintty on cygwin

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
hitting ctrl + shift + a does not go to the beginning of the line, instead 
nothing happens

What versions of mintty, Cygwin/MSYS, and Windows are you using?
$ mintty --version
mintty 1.1.2

Maybe you've got the Ctrl+Shift+letter shortcuts enabled on the Keys page of 
the options, in which case those combinations are swallowed by mintty.

You're right, I thought what that did was enable Ctrl+Shift key presses
So is there no way to have both shortcuts and key presses enabled?
I would still like Ctrl + Shift + c and Ctrl + Shift + v as copy & paste

Nope, it's one or the other, I'm afraid. All Ctrl+Shift+letter combinations are 
reserved for mintty's use when the shortcuts are enabled, so as not to break 
people's setups if more are ever added. For example, Ctrl+Shift+A should 
arguably do Select All.

If you're really keen, you could disable the Ctrl+Shift+letter shortcuts and 
use AutoHotKey to map Ctrl+Shift+C/V to Ctrl+Ins and Shift+Ins.
