Bug in hotkey

(I can't reproduce this...)

When using meta-keys (alt, etc.) to try to get the 'list of processes' I
tried a bunch before getting the cntl-scrolllock that showed the runnning
procs. After coming back to that VC later, I found the login/password
prompts to be in all caps! I typed my name (it showed in all caps) and
logged in and got in fine... the prompt and my typing stayed capitalized.

But bash (well BASH> anyway) would not _run_ capitalized anything.
I eventually got the term back by using -selection- to cut and paste the
'reset' command (which fixed things).

As I say, I can't reproduce this... but I don't have any space VC's so maybe
it only works before the first login...

(low priority)
