When I was work on vt(4) due to lack of knowledge about kbd(4) internals I decide to not touch it a lot, so I mostly just copy sc(4) things :) IIRC support of such keys/combinations will require some updates to kbd(4). Think, if somebody will prepare patch for such things, guys and maybe me, will be happy to review and possibly commit it. Thanks! WBW -- Aleksandr Rybalko <ray@freebsd.org>
