The "vid" in vidcontrol means "video", not "vty". The keyboard functions were intentionally split off from the video functions when vidcontrol(1) and kbdcontrol(1) were spawned from syscons(1). Everything may belong in syscons(1) again, but the interfaces should not be gratuitously different from those in the utilities for other console drivers. pcvt already has enough gratuitous differences in its scon(1) and kcon(1) utilities.
