Well, for some weird reason, no such feature in midc > under FBSD. Just curious. Isn't Alt-F7 supposed to switch to virtual terminal 7? Linux distros have 6 VTs setup by default, where FreeBSD has 8 (3.3-RELEASE). What happens if you enable VT7 (or run X on it?). > So, I based on all the above, I expect Alt-F5 not to work > because no 'cons.saver' for fBSD and meta-keys seem to to work > either. I gather that, hitting Alt-F5 gets you the output screen in RHIDE. Again, shouldn't Alt-F5 land you in VT5 in Linux? About the argument of midc authors regarding C-o. Can't they switch to a pseudo terminal before running the program, run the program and come back to the original terminal? Then switch between the original and pseudo terminals on hitting C-o? "screen" does this sort of thing all the time, so it's very much possible. I guess the midc authors are just being a bit lazy (it's a free program after all), or more likely, they don't see much demand in the FreeBSD sector.
