The problem is that the ncurses library doesn't have a keycode for

That's an extension (mutt could in principle ask ncurses for the binding
of kUP5 and kDN5). Use "infocmp -x" to see some of the possibilities.
Can you explain in a little more detail how this is supposed to work?
It was not clear to me which of the following would be true:
1) there is some way to make getch() return a KEY_ constant for
ctrl-<UP>
2) mutt would have to query the termcap entry for kUP5 and internally
convert a user's specification of "\c<up>" to the kUP5 sequence.
