Keys in the graphical frontends
During the graphical emulation, you can use special key combinations from
the following table to change modes. By default the modifier is Ctrl+Alt
(used in the table below) which can be changed with -display suboption
mod= where appropriate. For example, -display sdl,
grab-mod=lshift-lctrl-lalt changes the modifier key to Ctrl+Alt+Shift,
while -display sdl,grab-mod=rctrl changes it to the right Ctrl key.
