[kmscon-devel] ctrl arrow keys not working in kmscon virtual consoles

[Benoît]

thanks for your reply Ran
:( I am disapointed to having lost time trying to find a solution where 
there is not.. (before changing the code).

my main motivation to switch to kmscon for my virtual console was for 
the better 256 colors support than VT but perhaps I have to spend time 
again on VT to see if I can get better color support...

Have you ever had this type of request/issue in the past or anything 
planned to developp this or should I try to find another solution?

Many thanks again for your response
