I don't think it's possible. The terminal emulator would have to send
different bytes from those sent when the Space key is pressed, which
isn't the case. Same problem as Control-Shift-A and Control-A,
Control-I and Tab, and probably others as well.

Only solution is to configure the terminal emulator to send a
different sequence for Shift-Space (e.g. Delete or Backspace) and make
sure that is bound instead.
