Sorry!  I wrote Shift-Backspace but I meant Shift-Tab.

Sorry!  I wrote Shift-Backspace but I meant Shift-Tab.

Thanks.  I appended that code to /etc/console-setup/remap.inc, then ran

 # dpkg-reconfigure console-setup ; dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

, but the problem remained.  In Xterm, with Ctrl-left-arrow and
Ctrl-right-arrow I jump from word to word, and with Shift-Tab I go one tab
back.  I want to do the same in VC, outside X, but they don't work.

Thanks,

Rodolfo
