Sounds like a good solution to me. To get it implemented, we would need
  - a keymap with "modified-special-keys"   % done
  - a SUID shell skript to load the map on request
  - a SUID shell skript to restore the previous map  
    % maybe just one skript with command-line options
  - a slang jed-mode that contains a worked up and tested version of
    Johns proposal (display_hooks, keybindings for switching ...) and would
    be invoked with requires("linuxkeys") in the .jedrc
    
I'd volunteer to write this sort of thing, but is there a chance to get this
into the next version of jed?
