CHVT (1)
change foreground virtual terminal
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The command
chvt
N
makes
/dev/tty N
the foreground terminal. The corresponding screen is created if it did not
exist yet. To get rid of unused VTs, use
deallocvt (1).
The keymap action
`Console_ N '
(usually bound to key combination
(Ctrl-)LeftAlt-F N ,
with
N
in the range 1-12, and to
RightAlt-F N-12
with
N
in the range 13-24) also allows to switch to another VT, but really switches
only if it is already allocated. This prevents allocating new VTs with a
misplaced keystroke.
