1 Hello, sorry for the long wait to reply, I switched to E17 and I have
2 the same problem
3 as with Gnome, still can switch to a VT...
4
5 Ifr I open a term and try the usual Ctrl + Alt + F1 to F7 key combination
6 I get :
7
8 PQRS;7~;7~;7~
9
10 Which I don't ever remember getting in the past. I tried killing
11 gnome-settings-manager but that doesn't change anything either.
12
13 Any ideas?

15 Thanks,
