What keypress will take me to tty13?
5 answers
I've exhaustively tried every option presented to me in dpkg-reconfigure console-setup, the best I've been able to manage thus far has been to have both Alt keys behave the same (LeftAlt+F1 and RightAlt+F1 both going to tty1).
Please note that using GNU screen is not considered a valid response to the question - this is specifically about how to get the keyboard to behave properly with multiple consoles under Ubuntu. The crazy thing is that every other distro I've tried just handles this correctly, including Debian Lenny

Mostly, virtual consoles tty8 through tty63 are unused and unassigned. There's no applications running on them, and they're not assigned to any keypress. However, you still can open an application on it as described in one of my older answers:
- Make your user the owner of that console:
sudo chown "$USER":tty /dev/tty13
- Run
openvt -c 13 -loropenvt -c 13 -s "bash"
- If you return to TTY1 or any other tty that has assigned keyboard shortcut, and want to go back to the TTY13 that you've opened, use
sudo chvt 13for that ( and if I'm not mistaken - if you're added tottygroup you should not needsudofor that ).
If you add yourself to tty group, you can later skip the step #1 and assign the command in step #2 as keyboard shortcut
Please also note that proper combination is Ctrl+Alt+F1 and not Left Alt+F1 indicated in the question body. For virtual machines in Virtual Box, that's slightly different - it's Left Ctrl+F1.
