NAME
       chvt - change foreground virtual terminal

SYNOPSIS
       chvt N

DESCRIPTION
       The  command chvt N makes /dev/ttyN the foreground terminal. The corre‐
       sponding 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  combination
       (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.

SEE ALSO
       deallocvt(1).
