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

Question

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?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

For Mac/apple keyboard, on Linux system, press and hold fn first, then press ctrl+opt+f2 for e.g. after that.
