Hello Leslie,

    For the Linux console, the usual way to add the <BackTab> key
support is by loading an additional keymap at startup:

| #	loadkeys /etc/kbd/backtab.map
| #
| Shift keycode	15		= F100		# Shift-Tab (or BackTab)
| string F100	= "\033[Z"

    It's so common that it's even already accounted in the official
terminfo database linux entries: They declare "kcbt=\E[Z". Ready for
binding thru the "<BackTab>" symbolic name in Slrn, Mutt, USW...


Bye!	Alain.
