Hi Tomasz,

thanks for the feedback and for bringing the observed problems to the
issue tracker [1], [2].

That's true. The documentation should be more clear about how to
accomplish this, at least about the fact that we are talking about GPT
partition names. A concrete suggestion (a patch) for improving it would
be highly appreciated. The document is located in the Genode repository
at repos/gems/recipes/pkg/sculpt/README.

Regarding the Alt-key handling, I'm afraid you will need to dig into
customizing the noux-bash pkg. You may find the ports/run/noux_bash.run
script useful for developing such tweaks.

For blocking Ctrl+D you may look into /config/en_us.chargen,
specifically at the definitions for the second modifier 'mod2', which
happens to be Ctrl. Here, you see that KEY_D maps to the ASCII value 4.
By changing this attribute to 'char="x"', you can remap Ctrl+D to 'x'.
You can do this on the fly. Cool, isn't it?

Thank you for your assistance with getting to the bottom of this. We
will find out. ;-)

Cheers
