That would be trivial... I added the "screen"-like forward/backward switching
with alt-arrow_key way back in the 1.0 kernel over a year ago. I don't know
who it was that actually put that in the present kernel, but I never sent
the patch in. On a side note, I added ext2 immutable files at the same time
to piss someone off...
