Ctrl-T (or Strg-T)

You mean "TAB alone".
Anyway, ESC is a real character, Ctrl is just a key-modifier, it
doesn't produce a key on its own.
With most other characters the Ctrl-modifier produces a different
character ... just not with TAB. At least normally.
Some environments (like X-windows and some terminal emus) do, but
the standard text-terminal does not Ctrl-modify TAB, so you end up
with the same "normal" TAB.
On some systems Shift-TAB works, but you'd need to capture the raw
ESC-sequence produced by it, there is no mutt-code for it.
