TTY switch for Ctrl-Alt F1 and Alt-F1...F6 in Mac OS X

Tags:

Is it possible...

  1. to have a terminal mode for the keybinding Ctrl+Alt+F1
  2. to switch between TTYs for Alt+F1...F6

Ubuntu has the above commands to move between different TTYs.

It seems that Mac does not have them activated.

How can you activate the above functionalities in Mac?

Only one TTY (TTY1) is available in OSX. To enable tty use fn+ctrl+alt+F1.

I am not sure what you are asking. Are you asking about accessing TTYs in Mac OS X? That is not possible. Use the terminal, /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app
