Summary
This PR extends TTY switching support from F1-F4 to F1-F6 for Chromebook keyboards. Previously only Ctrl+Alt+F1-F4 worked; this adds F5-F6 support.
Changes
Added key mappings in the
[control+alt]section for both modes:Non-inverted mode (default behavior - Chrome keys):
Inverted mode (
-iflag - F-keys as default):This ensures Ctrl+Alt+F1-F6 works in both configuration modes. F7-F8 are also mapped but typically unused since Linux defaults to 6 TTYs (they will work if additional TTYs are configured).
Improvements
Use Case
TTY switching is essential for:
Testing
Tested on Arch Linux + Hyprland with both keyboard configurations. TTY switching now works smoothly for F1-F6 with improved modifier key behavior.
