Running emacs on the Linux console:

[raman at crl.dec.com (raman at crl.dec.com)]

Over the last few months, I have put together a defkeymap.map that customizes
the linux console and a corresponding console.el that exploits this customized
console.

You can retrieve a tar archive containing these files from
http://www.research.digital.com/EXTERNAL/CRL/personal/raman/emacspeak/emacs-console.tar
 or just go to the emacspeak home page and you will find a link to it.

 How to use it:

 a) place the defkeymap.map in a reasonable place (I put it in
 /usr/local/etc/keytables )
 b) Do a "loadkeys < defkeymap.map"
 either as root from a shell, or put the necessary line into your rc.m file
 c) Place the console.el under
 /usr/lib/emacs/19.xx/lisp/term/

 What this gives you:

 shift-tab, shift-arrows etc work (they produce the same keysyms as they would
 under X)
