What is wrong with:

K S,DEL=R

to put the console in ROLL mode?

K Q,L=nn

is nice if there are a lot of messages queued to a console which is not
close by. That requeues all the messages into the SYSLOG and off the
console in question.

Also, you can:

K N,PFK=(1,CMD='K E,1'),CON=N

then just keep pressing the PF1 key.
