Message-ID: <484@oglvee.UUCP> Date: 14 Jun 89 23:19:07 GMT Organization: Oglevee Computer Systems, Connellsville, Pa Lines: 17 I have a feeling this question has come up before, so pardon if this is one of those constantly asked things. I'm not too crazy about having the virtual terminal switch require a lead-in. I've used virtual terminals on 3 other operating systems and none of them required this. In reading the man page for keyboard(7) it's not clear to me whether this can be reprogrammed or not. It seems clear that the lead-in can be reprogrammed from ALT-Sysreq if you like, and that following that lead-in you can map whatever you'd like to select a given virtual terminal. But what I'd like is to be able to have, say, CTRL-ALT-1 give me vt00, CTRL-ALT-2 give me vt01, etc -- with *no* lead-in. (We use QNX around here a lot, which uses those for switching virtual terminals, so it sure would simplify things to have the same keystrokes!!!) If anybody knows how to do this I'd appreciate a tip. -- Jim Rosenberg pitt Oglevee Computer Systems >--!amanue!oglvee!jr 151 Oglevee Lane cgh Connellsville, PA 15425 #include
