Thanks for your proposal. However, I think I'll probably refrain from including that keymap in the bunch of keymaps distributed with console-data. The demand for console keymaps is now drastically decreasing and I'm not convinced it is actually useful to clutter up the package with more and more keymaps as long as they don't correspond to something that's really used widely enough. Indeed, there ar eprobably many keymaps that should be *removed* from the package. I just don't take time for this because that would need deep investigation about which is really useful (to more than 1 person..:-)). So, well, I'll leave the bug opened but tagged "wontfix".
