C-M-f1 is another natural keystroke in this situation, and perhaps has the advantage that it pretty much exhibits expected behaviour regardless of whether you are currently in DDB or not, whereas C-M-ESC may lead to you unintentionally entering DDB when you thought you must already be in DDB.Joerg Sonnenberger wrote:No-one is going to be surprised to switch to a text console with DDB if they hit C-M-ESC, just grateful :) And it's a keystroke that people already know.On Sun, Mar 23, 2008 at 08:03:55PM +0200, Antti Kantee wrote:On Sun Mar 23 2008 at 18:53:18 +0100, Joerg Sonnenberger wrote:On Sun, Mar 23, 2008 at 07:17:15PM +0200, Antti Kantee wrote:Would it be possible to have a simple keypress alias for this? So that Xwould freeze, but if you press e.g. ctrl-esc, you get ddb?You mean like ctrl-alt-esc?But (as a "nice to have") if the keystroke is overloaded, it'd be nice if there was some indication that you're definitely in DDB when X hangs, just in case you aren't. Flashing keyboard LED? Is that going overboard? :)
