i just noticed that i can't use any ctrl-c ctrl-d ctrl-z in console. they produce no ouput( or weird character) and they have no effect.
in fact only these works:
* ctrl-m behave as enter
* ctrl-a goes to the beginning of the line
* ctrl-w delete to the beginning of the line.

i don't know when it started to happen because, although i spent some in terminals, it's mainly in tilda and not the console.
it's working in tilda and in xterm.

i use [testing] repo and i doubt it could be related to the new mkinitcpio and busybox. the latest bash or readline ?
i don't know where it comes from so i can't tell a package name for the bug. may be the kernel ??

i use this in rc.conf
LOCALE="fr_FR.utf8"
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
USEDIRECTISA="yes"
TIMEZONE="Europe/Paris"
KEYMAP="fr-latin9"
CONSOLEFONT="ter-120b"
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"

but this was working fine before.
This task depends upon

it's the /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/azerty/fr-latin9.map.gz keymap that cause the problem. if i use fr-latin1 it's ok.
it was working before what ?

I tested fr-latin9, and no issues here. ^C ^D ^Z works as expected, on console (console for me are Virtual Consoles: tty1 tty2, etc).

Anyway you are talking also about "X" terminals. loadkeys does nothing here (KEYMAP= setting)
