When I was work on vt(4) due to lack of knowledge about kbd(4) internals I decide to not touch it a lot, so I mostly just copy sc(4) things :) IIRC support of such keys/combinations will require some updates to kbd(4). Think, if somebody will prepare patch for such things, guys and maybe me, will be happy to review and possibly commit it. Thanks!
