keyboard shortcuts - keybindings


Is there some global keyboard shortcut to the (any)terminal? I've finally been able to boot damn small linux, by using issueing the failsafe command but the mouse doesn't work making the distro pretty much useless. It would be nice if there was a "ctrl-alt-del" type method to bringing up the terminal so I could set up my mouse. Googling I see I could probably set a keybinding but that would require the use of my mouse to open the terminal

If there isn't, IMO I think Linux would benefit from having such a feature.

Ctrl-Alt-BackSpace will kill X in most distros, Ctrl-Alt-Fn (with
n from 1 to 6) should give you a full-screen console.


Cheers,
