Pls add support shift+tab

I want use shift tab in inquirer. But readchar not read this keyevent

    print("Press a key")
    key = readchar.readkey()
    print("Key is {0}".format(key.encode()))
>>>Press a key
>>>shift+tab
>>>Key is b'\t'

For *nix support

This will have to wait but will probably come at some point. For now the project maintainer is not responding and untill he does I am just a powerless contributer myself. You can however, for the ime beeing, patch the key-module for unix systems with this line after your readchar import:

from readchar import readkey, key
key.SHIFT_TAB = "\x1b\x5b\x5a"

Now you can use it as expected:

while True:
    k = readkey()
    if k == key.SHIFT_TAB:
        print("got macro shortcut!!!!!")

You can get the codes for other unsported keys by running my testing script, it will print you the codes for all pressed keys.

For windows support:

readchar relies on the standart libary msvcrt to do the actuall terminal interaction. If you take this exapmple:

from msvcrt import getch

while True:
	k = getch()
	print(k)

you will see that both pressing TAB and SHIFT+TAB result in the same output of b'\t'. Windows doesn’t provide this keycombination to python so it is imposible to handle it.
