Hm, I see. On my Linux system with KDE, Ctrl-Fn is grabbed by the KDE
window manager to move the focus to virtual desktop n. (I have 20 of
them but of course only the first 12 are accessible that way; for the
others, I can use Ctrl-Tab or Ctrl-Shift-Tab to move to next or
previous, or the mouse to click the appropriate desktop icon on the
taskbar.) Ctrl-arrow keys are not grabbed, and many applications use
them to move the cursor (Ctrl-Left and Ctrl-Right to move horizontally
by words, Ctrl-Home and Ctrl-End to go to top or bottom of a document,
etc.) -- lucky me!
Best regards,
Tony.
