I would find the keymap you are loading and modify it as follows (either add the lines, or modify any that are already there): keycode 29 = SCtrl keycode 42 = SShift keycode 56 = SAlt These modifications will make your left Ctrl, Shift, and Alt keys work as a sticky key. You can press and release them and the next character will behave as if they are held down. They don't lock though. You can find more information about this in section 15.1 of the Keyboard-and-Console-HOWTO. In fact the article tells you how to do all kinds of cool and exciting stuff with your keyboard. As a word of warning, changes in one console act accross the board. So don't figure that you can change virtual consoles to bail out. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net
