Thanks, Garl, this is a neat X trick, I wonder where it's documented. I knew
about these keys, described in `man XFree86`, but the mouse emulator is a new
one to me:
Multiple key presses recognized directly by XFree86 are:
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
Immediately kills the server -- no questions
asked. This can be disabled with the DontZap
XF86Config(5x) file option.
Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Plus
Change video mode to next one specified in the
configuration file. This can be disabled with the
DontZoom XF86Config(5x) file option.
Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Minus
Change video mode to previous one specified in the
configuration file. This can be disabled with the
DontZoom XF86Config(5x) file option.
Ctrl+Alt+F1...F12
For BSD and Linux systems with virtual terminal
support, these keystroke combinations are used to
switch to Virtual Console 1 through 12.
