I don't believe that the Zap function is a configurable keybinding. It
can only be triggered by Ctrl+Alt+Backspace.
Also, for those recommending Ctrl+Alt+Fn to switch to a text console:
that requires more cooperation from the X server (and functioning
graphics). I've had X hose the graphics, be unable to restore a text
console, but an X restart re-initialized the hardware back to a working
state.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
