I would expect lalt+rctrl+backspace would be the same as ralt+rctrl+backspace. There is no "right alt" key, it is "alt gr". ___ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd

Hi, I checked in a slightly different version of the shift part of the patch (as Marco said, doing it in one if cluase is right). I disagree with Marco and agree with Alfred that left and right alt are very different keys. This is also true for the linux console. There are no other cases where
