In fact, some people once told me that this had worked for them, however,
it definitely never did for me, and so I just switched to X and installed
the prober Xmodmap. I like to have six xterms at once, anyway ... :)

The Q switches vi to ex mode. Usually, typing <ESC>: should be sufficient
to get you to the command-line. Are you sure you're hitting the right colon?

I wonder, if I am really the only one using vi ... it's such a cute editor,
once you've RTFM.

Best regards,
