Hi, all! So I am taking a Linux O/S class for my degree requirements. The book we are using is "Linux Bible" - 8th ed. by Christopher Negus. Per our instructor, I am accessing Fedora via Oracle VM VirtualBox. Negus refers to a Windows keyboard when he instructs us to enter, for example, Ctrl+Alt+F2 to open a virtual console. Where can I find a list of MAC keyboard equivalent key combos or will I have to assign them myself?

My instructor was no help with this question and told me I would have to scour the Internet which i have to no avail.

I have an assignment due and I can't follow along until I figure this out. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi TNTnPhx,

I do not have experience with mac, but in VitualBox you could use the Hostkey + F2 or Hostkey + F3 for access to consoles.
Hostkey = Ctrl + Alt.

In my case the Hostkey is the right Ctrl.

Thanks for your speedy reply, Tchiarot. I am new to MAC as well, which also extends my frustration.

That did not work for me but thanks for the feedback.

It seems that in your case the Hostkey is the left command key. I guess for access to the linux consoles you should use left command key + F2. If not you can try with right command key + F2.
