If you're a C programmer, Linux has an ioctl that allows a program to set up notifications (with a selectable signal) whenever the virtual terminals are switched. So you can write something that runs in the background, traps these switches and reloads the keymap based on a config file. Start by looking at /usr/include/linux/vt.h if you decide to take the challenge. :) -- Ian Zimmerman, Oakland, California, U.S.A.
