Yes, and in addition, sometimes (especially when running in a
terminal, but for some combinations also in gvim) different sets of
key+modifiers are not seen as different by Vim and as a result they
cannot be mapped separately. The canonical case is Ctrl-a to Ctrl-z
which is guaranteed to be seen as identical with Ctrl-Shift-a to
Ctrl-Shift-z. For Ctrl + cursor key, the presence vs. absence of Shift
may or may not make a difference depending on OS and on gvim vs.
Console Vim. For Alt + something, other modifiers are usually, but not
always, taken into consideration. You may have to experiment to
determine what is and isn't seen as different on your particular
system.

Best regards,
Tony.
