Fortunately, "X" ignores keystrokes, so you're able to use your keyboard.

Great work, Florian! I always find it fascinating when I get a glimpse

Well, would you believe it - that fixed the problem!
I still can't quite believe it was as simple as that.

So I did some follow-through and read through a bit of the

If your output looks different then you can try if
xmodmap -e 'keycode 67 = F1 XF86_Switch_VT_1'
restores the VT switching.

Since chvt works, is there any way to make chvt a command

Glad to hear "chvt" works! My impression is that C-M-F# is normally keymapped to invoke the very
same action as chvt. So using chvt is a great way to circumvent a misbehaving keymap. This strongly suggests
that Andrew was correct (see above) that something is wrong with your keymap. As Andre
