This reminds me of something I've always wanted to do...

Currently you can only increment and decrement your console (as in,
keytables only have mappings for this). It would be very nice to be
able to set an arbitrary number as a "bank" length, and then you could
increment and decrement within the bank, and also increment and
decrement between banks. Say, VTs 1-12 are bank one, 13-25 two, etc,
then you could use alt -uparrow and -downarrow to move between banks,
and alt -leftarrow and -rightarrow to move within the banks (or whatever
keys you want...i use leftalt-vi-keys). Or VTs 1-6 as a bank, etc.
Makes for a more logical organization. Just a thought, anyone like this
idea?
