Hi Michal!

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!
