It depends what type of terminal(emulator) you are using ie console, shelltool cmdtool, xterm, other???.
In xterm you can modify the generated code by xmodmap. In shelltool you can modify the generated code by mapi (file .ttyswrc). As a starting point say "cat >/dev/null" and press the desired(s) key(s). (Cntrl-C aborts).

I also want the shift-Tab key [Previous Field] but for now I don't know how as TAB and Shift-TAB always seems to generate the same key-code.

: Thanks

You're welcome
