在VMware下的Linux如何進入終端機模式？
[ctrl]+[alt]+[space]+[F1]~[F6] --> console mode
[ctrl]+[alt]+[space]+[F7] --> X window
Usually, Linux reservers at least 6 consoles for us. You can simply press the [ctrl]+[alt]+[F1]~[F6] key combination to access these consoles. However, when using a Linux as a VMware guest system, the key combination mentioned above don't work any more.
WHY?
It is because, VMware uses [ctrl]+[alt] key combination to release the mouse and keyboard from guest to host.
Solution?
1. Change the VMware release key combination from [ctrl]+[alt] to [ctrl]+[alt]+[shift].
2. In guest Linux system, press [ctrl]+[alt]+[space]+[F1]~[F6] in stead of [ctrl]+[alt]+[F1]~[F6].
For the same reason, to switch back to X window, you need to press [ctrl]+[alt]+[space]+[F7].
在Linux環境中，通常會預設保留六個終端機模式來使用，而要使用終端機模式，只要按[ctrl]+[alt]+[F1]~[F6]即可。可是，當你在VMware下使用Linux時，會發現按[ctrl]+[alt]+[F1]~[F6]後，並沒有進入終端機，因為，在VMware中，按[ctrl]+[alt]會將滑鼠和鍵盤還給主系統。
解決之道有二：
其一，將VMware的熱鍵改為[ctrl]+[alt]+[shift]。
其二，在Linux系統下，按[ctrl]+[alt]+[space]+[F1]~[F6]。
同理，回到X window，按[ctrl]+[alt]+[space]+[F7]。
