There is nothing obvious to discover: xkbwatch idle status: -------- -------- ---X---- ---X---- --X----- pressing ctrl-alt: ----XX-- -------- ---X---- ---XXX-- ---XXX-- but no additional keys make a difference, I even watched return to tty7 after going to tty8: ----XX-- -------- ---X---- ---XXX-- ---XXX-- after c-T colon help return nothing changes in idle status: -------- -------- ---X---- ---X---- ---X---- ctrl-alt alone looks no different: ----XX-- -------- ---X---- ---XXX-- ---XXX-- no difference again: ----XX-- -------- ---X---- ---XXX-- ---XXX-- Isn't there a program with textual output of keyboard events?
