Ctrl-key detection in curses

Is there any other methods to retrieve inputs in curses
than getch() or getkey(), specially ones that can detect
ctrl-key?
Thank you!

Do mean checking for a ctrl-key press by itself? Can't be done -- the
terminal doesn't report that. If you mean ctrl-key + character,
getch() and getkey() do that.
