I was curious, so I looked a bit myself, and found this: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
% ag ctrl-alt-f /usr/share/doc |
| 22 |
/usr/share/doc/kbd-1.15.5-r1/html/kbd.FAQ-7.html |
| 23 |
21:<P>By default, console switching is done using Alt-Fn or Ctrl-Alt-Fn. |
| 24 |
22:Under <CODE>X</CODE> (or recent versions of <CODE>dosemu</CODE>), only |
| 25 |
Ctrl-Alt-Fn works. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
/usr/share/doc/kbd-1.15.5-r1/html/kbd.FAQ-8.html |
| 28 |
54:Console_n Alt-Fn and Ctrl-Alt-Fn (1 <= n <= 12) |
| 29 |
82:Ctrl-Alt-Fn Switch to VT n |
| 30 |
115:Ctrl-Alt-Fn Switch to VT n (from version 0.50; earlier Alt-Fn) |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
/usr/share/doc/kbd-1.15.5-r1/html/kbd.FAQ-13.html |
| 33 |
28:While it is running one can use Ctrl-Alt-Fn to switch to VTn. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
/usr/share/doc/kbd-1.15.5-r1/html/kbd.FAQ-9.html |
| 36 |
41:However, Ctrl-Alt-Fn will work and you can go to another VT. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
/usr/share/doc/libsdl-1.2.15-r9/html/docs.html |
| 39 |
631: The framebuffer console now uses CTRL-ALT-FN to switch virtual |
| 40 |
terminals, to avoid collisions with application key bindings. |
| 41 |

(For those who haven't heard of it: ag is from sys-apps/the_silver_searcher.) |

From a cursory look, I couldn't find anything specific, other than that |
| 47 |
apparently AltGr+Fn is supposed to give you console n+12 (though apparently |
| 48 |
not from within X), but it didn't work for me, and I'm not in the mood to find |
| 49 |
out why. Also, that FAQ looks... dated. However, maybe it will help lead you |
| 50 |
to a solution? |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Also, while I'm sure you've got a good reason for doing this, I'm really |
| 53 |
curious: why not use screen or tmux instead? Especially if you're dealing |
| 54 |
with more than twelve terminals. |
