$ emacs -nw -Q
On emacs, execute
M-x windmove-default-keybindings

Cx-2
Cx-3

While S-<Left> S-<Right>, S-<Down>, works S-<Up> responds with "<select>
is undefined". (C-h k) is saying that the key is undefined.

Next, I tried M-x windmove-up, which worked correctly, and the status
line said that I can use S-<up> instead (which does not work).

Next, I tried to set it using the global .emacs file with
(global-set-key (kbd "S-<up>")    'windmove-up)
This did not succeed, with S-<up> not being recognized as set.

Lastly, I tried manually defining it with M-x global-set-key S-<up>
windmove-up. Interestingly, this works with the key bound as expected.

What is the type of your TTY display, and what escape sequence does
that terminal send when you press S-<Up>?
