Hmmm... figured it out finally, had a problem, then figured out where I
had a problem :-/
If I do:
wsconsctl -w map+="keysym F1 = Escape"
wsconsctl -w map+="keysym F2 = F1"
Things seem to lock up for me - no response, nada. Couldn't even drop
into ddb.
Doing it in reverse, however:
wsconsctl -w map+="keysym F2 = F1"
wsconsctl -w map+="keysym F1 = Escape"
Worked like a champ.
Is this normal/expected?
