That's interesting, because what I did was identical, only instead
of "control", I had "ctrll".

I assumed that ctrll is the left control key, but, if it is, for
some reason it doesn't work.

Also, ctrll has something to do with CAPS LOCK because I have this

## cycling tty's
# J
alt keycode 36       = Decr_Console
ctrll alt keycode 36 = Decr_Console
# K
alt keycode 37       = Incr_Console
ctrll alt keycode 37 = Incr_Console

and without those ctrll lines, it doesn't work when CAPS LOCK is on.
