My point is-the purpose of console_codes is to document what control codes are supported by the Linux VT console - it was never intended as a general purpose reference to control codes in general.

Yes, it does briefly mention a few codes it doesn’t support-but that’s in the spirit of man pages having a “limitations” section (“here’s an incomplete list of commonly requested functionality we haven’t implemented”)-it is not intended as primary documentation for control codes implemented by other software.
