I just tried run small freeware DOS program "ScanCode Show" (scode.com
from scode22.zip from Simtelnet) which display scancodes - as You can
see on attached screenshot, both "Alt-Backspace" and "Ctrl-Insert" are
captured by scode.
And when I disable (by gnome-keybinding-properties prog) GNOME default
binded keys ALT-F1, ALT-F2, ALT-F4, ALT-F8,... then these are available
for DOSEMU programs as well.
Then I think there isn't any problem use these combinations in Your DOS
programs.
