>From the loadkeys man page: Note that the keyboard translation table is common for all the virtual con-soles, so any changes to the keyboard bindings affect all the virtual consoles simultaneously. Note that because the changes affect all the virtual consoles, they also outlive your session. This means that even at the login prompt the key bindings may not be what the user expects. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
