I tried C-c C-! in my environment, and it fails, no noticing the C-!
(which involves shift) keypress (with ^H k; I get it that this is
proposed).  I have C-1 bound in my window manager to switch desktops,
since that binding doesn't take away the ability to generate any ASCII
character.

I'm running "emacs -nw" under tmux on one machine (netbsd), connected
via ssh from a mac using Terminal.

While one can argue that various emulations are broken, org should be
fully usable with a 7-bit terminal connection, and non-kludgy with an
8-bit connection.  In general, I find that emacs works fine with that,
although one has to prefix with ESC instead of the meta key.

I've always been bothered by keybindings like C-S-left, which while
useful, cause there to be no available keystroke sequence to perform the
function.

I find this surprising; I'd expect within emacs/org culture there to be
more people using terminal-mode emacs.
