X Window has keysyms for console switch only for consoles 1..12. Because of this the key combinations need to be hardcoded in ckbcomp rather than read from xkb keyboard layout definitions. Currently console-setup maps AltGr-F12 to F52. Currently the keys are mapped the following way: Alt+F2 = Control+Alt+F2 -> Console_2 Alt+F12 = Control+Alt+F12 -> Console_12 Alt+Shift+F2 = Control+Alt+Shift+F2 -> Console_12 Alt+Shift+F12 = Control+Alt+Shift+F12 -> Console_22 Shift+F2 -> F12 Control+F2 -> F22 Control+Shift+F2 -> F32 AltGr+F2 -> F42 AltGr+Shift+F2 -> F52 AltGr+Control+F2 -> F62 AltGr+Control+Shift+F2 -> F72 No key combination is mapped to Console_24. Do you think that the following change will be the proper fix of the bug you reported: (the following are from defkeymap.kmap and linux-keys-extd.inc) Shift+F2 -> F14 Shift+F12 -> F24 Control+F2 -> F26 Control+F12 -> F36 Control+Shift+F2 -> F38 Control+Shift+F12 -> F48 Alt+F2 = Control+Alt+F2 -> Console_2 Alt+F12 = Control+Alt+F12 -> Console_12 Alt+Shift+F2 = Control+Alt+Shift+F2 -> Console_14 Alt+Shift+F12 = Control+Alt+Shift+F12 -> Console_24 (the following are not entirely standard as not all keymaps have altgr) AltGr+F2 = Control+AltGr+F2 -> Console_14 AltGr+F12 = Control+AltGr+F12 -> Console_24 AltGr+Shift+F2 = Control+AltGr+Shift+F2 -> Console_26 AltGr+Shift+F12 = Control+AltGr+Shift+F12 -> Console_36 > I have tried various configurations of /etc/default/console-setup to > try to regain this functionality without success. Please advise me > how to configure console-setup to allow this to work. Currently this is impossible but I am prepared to make an upload of console-setup that fixes this bug as soon as we agree on the key combinations.
