chvt - change foreground virtual terminal
SYNOPSIS
chvtN
DESCRIPTION
The command chvt N makes /dev/ttyN the foreground termi
nal. 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 combi
nation (Ctrl-)LeftAlt-FN, with N in the range 1-12, and to
RightAlt-FN-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.
