That's right.

There isn't, sorry.
OS/2 C-Kermit and MS-DOS Kermit have distinct family trees. We are
working to bring them together, but this particular issue is difficult,
because there is no way to allow Ctrl-Alt combos to generate unique scan
codes without changing some of the other ones, thus breaking everybody's
current key settings files.
In the future, we'll probably need to have a command that selects among
two or more different scan-code regimens.
