I changed the mapping in the map file that I load, but now the left alt cannot be used to toggle the virt. terminals (because I mapped it to ESC). Also, I can't hold it down and repeatedly hit 'v' to pageup in emacs, but I have to hit it like ESC and let it up every time... is there some way to just be able to hold down the ALT like CTL works? Thanks...
