if you use like "apt-get install kbd" there's nice little utility called
"showkey -a" (Ctrl-d to quit) which will help you discover all the key
combos you could want, and you just.. if you key combo isnt printing out in
the showkey, the operating system is probably capturing it instead of
sending onto terminal
