Hoping someone can help me with a relatively straightforward solution to a niggling problem
After installing Ubuntu 16.04 on my 2013 Macbook Air I find I'm unable to switch to virtual terminals. After a bit of digging I find this is because the left alt key is 'incorrectly' bound to Level_3_Shift
I managed to change this for a single X session but ended up trapped in tty1 since (I assume) as soon as I was out of X11 the keybinding switched back to Level_3_Shift. And since it wasn't run as a startup command the configuration was lost as soon as I logged out.
I've done a bit of digging around but all the solutions to change both virtual terminal and X11 keybindings seem incredibly fiddly given this is Ubuntu and I just want to change a single key.
Is there any simple way of doing this or am I just going to have to get my hands dirty?
Cheers
