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

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?

Solution

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