Prior to the introduction of systemd /etc/inittab had this line in it:
kb::kbrequest:/bin/echo "Keyboard Request--edit /etc/inittab to let this work."
and I found it useful to tie a call to openvt to Alt Up which went
well with ALT Right or Left arrow to move between VTs.

This is a command line related question, not X.
For years under sysvinit, in /etc/inittab, this line:
kb::kbrequest:$( [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ] && /bin/openvt -su || sudo /bin/openvt -su)
allowed me to open another VT by keying Control-UpArrow.

This line tells init to shutdown whenever it receives a KeyboardSignal
from the keyboard handler, in runlevels 1-5.

rrowUp would shutdown the system while it's not configured to
perform that task, and whether it would be safe to comment the line
which refers to it in /etc/inittab:
# Action on special keypress (ALT-UpArrow).
kb::kbrequest:/bin/echo "Keyboard Request--edit /etc/inittab to let this
work.&

I have already pressed by mistake the Alt+ArrowUp key combo, resulting
in a system shutdown (losing all work done!).
In my /etc/inittab I've got the Ctrl+Alt+End key combo configured for
shutdowns:
kb:12345:kbrequest:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -h now
and some kbrequest for the Alt+ArrowUp
Hi,
I have read that it is possible to
run commands using kbrequest. However this does not work
for me. Here is the corresponding strings from inittab:
kb::kbrequest:/bin/echo "abc"
... and keybinding from map file:
keycode 103 = Up
alt keycode 103 = KeyboardSignal
Pre
