CTRL-ALT-Fx is consistent with the Xfree way of switching vt's. As a shorthand F9, F10, F11 and F12 are available for the 1st 4 vt's. > Is there a way to change this behaviour? Not without hacking the source (pretty trivial). Besides that, there is this consistency problem. ALT-Fx is in use, shall i use CTRL-Fx, or SHIFT-Fx ?? The cleanest solution would be to allow it to remap very key to anything - a character, a function, a vt-switch, a . Unfortunately this requires a fundamental rewrite of the keyboard part, which i wanted to start last year already :-( hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis hm@altona.hamburg.com Hamburg, Europe (A)bort, (R)etry, (I)nstall BSD ?
