Hi! 😀

I'm on Linux (Debian) and I can't use Ctrl-Alt-F5 combination.
I tried remapping the F5 key to another one (the Q key) and I tried the new combination ( Ctrl-Alt-Q), but didn't work.
The DOSBox wiki doesn't provide very clear instructions. It could be, a bit more analytical.

Does someone has any hints, how to remap the Ctrl-Alt-F5 combination?
TIA! 😎

In the keymapper there's a separate section for the special keys ("ShutDown", "Cap Mouse", "Fullscreen", etc.). You need to edit those or the modifier keys.

For example, what I like to do in Linux is to map the "Mod2" key to the Shift key. That way all the special key combinations that use Ctrl+Alt+function key are all modified with that one change (since Ctrl+Alt+function key in Linux changes the TTY).
