> Any more insight given by grep and find?

Found it with a quick google.

On an extended Microsoft keyboard, we have the additional keys as follows 
(models vary, this is from the Keyboard-and-Console HOWTO, page 14, as 
mirrored on ibiblio.org):

Left Windows:   e05b
Right Windows:  e05c
Menu:           e05d
Internet Keyboard also uses
Back:           e06a
Forward:                e069
Stop:                   e068
Mail:                   e06c
Search:         e065
Favourites:     e066
Web/Home:       e032
My Computer:    e06b
Calculator:             e021
Sleep:          e05f

dumpkeys can show you what keycodes are still not used by your current 
keyboard setting.  In the case of the box I tested on, I was able to use the 
125-127 noted by the HOWTO.  The following commands set these codes:

setkeycodes e05b 125
setkeycodes e05c 126
setkeycodes e05d 127

This can now tell the computer something interesting about pressing these 
keys.  Unfortunately, they still don't do anything.  Fortunately, there's a 
program called "loadkeys".  Run it and type the following:

keycode 125 = Decr_Console
keycode 126 = Incr_Console
^D

I don't know what the special name for flipping consoles is, but this is very 
basic.  I assume one could also run `loadkeys < keymapping` where keymapping 
has the map that you want.  I have not tested that out yet - it's one I want 
to try due to the ease of adding that into load scripts.

All this just for getting one of the better features of Gentoo elsewhere ;)
