I seems like Ctrl-Alt-F1 is seen as F11.
In a gnome-terminal, I see these escape codes when I press some
of the function keys with or without modifiers:
F11 ^[[23~
Ctrl-F11 ^[[23;5~
Alt-F11 ^[[23;3~
Ctrl-Alt-F11 <nothing>
F1 <pops help>
Ctrl-F1 ^[O5P
Alt-F1 <pops GNOME menu>
Ctrl-Alt-F1 ^[[23;7~
That last sequence looks a lot like those for F11: in fact, (5 | 3) == 7.
That would seem to explain why Galeon appears to see Ctrl-Alt-F1 as F11,
which is its official keyboard shortcut for full screen mode.
In fact, I was able to confirm this with xev: holding Ctrl, then Alt,
then pressing F11 shows this:
KeyPress event, serial 23, synthetic NO, window 0x2a00001,
root 0x3f, subw 0x0, time 335499182, (109,109), root:(137,129),
state 0xc, keycode 67 (keysym 0xffc8, F11), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes: ""
The /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.us keyboard definition file contains
this line:
keycode 67 = F1 F11
I've tried changing this "F11" to "F1" or to nothing, or even
to add a third "F1", but Ctrl-Alt-F1 still does not switch to a
text console.
Could anyone whose Ctrl-Alt-F1 key sequence works in GNOME 2.4
tell me if they see something different than what I get? Thanks.
