I've added the following line in my .xmodmap: keycode 67 = F1 F1 XF86_Switch_VT_1 XF86_Switch_VT_1 It basically means that alt+fN+F1 makes a VT_Switch (67 is the keycode for F1 key according to xev on my ibook), with shift or not. This is also relying on the fact that alt makes a mode switch which hopefully is the default behavior. -- Cedric -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
