ctrl+a = decimal 1
ctrl+b = decimal 2
ctrl+c = decimal 3

and so on.. to

ctrl+x = decimal 24
ctrl+y = decimal 25
ctrl+z = decimal 26

escape = 27 etc

Still, for those who will need this in the future

Arrow keys are (3 bytes, decimal)

UP ARROW is 27,91,65 (ESC,'[',A)
DOWN ARROW is 27,91,66 (ESC,'[',B)
RIGHT ARROW is 27,91,67 (ESC, '[',C)
LEFT ARROW is 27,91,68 (ESC, '[',D)
