Where do I find a list of terminal key codes to remap shortcuts in bash?

For example:
"\e[1;5C"
"\e[Z"
"\e-1\C-i"
I only know bits and pieces, like \e stands for escape and C- for Ctrl, but what are these numbers (1) and letters (Z)? What are the ;, [ and - signs for? Is there only trial and error, or is there a complete list of bash key codes and an explanation of their syntax?
