What keystroke do you use to select tty[1234] in d-i in KVM virt-install console?
Hi list readers,
On buster, if I run 'virt-install' with debian-installer with
preseed arguments including
--graphics none
--extra-args "auto=true priority=critical console=ttyS0 ..."
to specify a text console KVM install then it all works nicely.
The GUI is LXDE, the terminal emulator is lxterminal.
Here's a screenshot (your viewing is not required, merely optional):

We see there, the top line of the text console has text like this:
(1*installer) 2 shell 3 shell 4- log
to indicate that tty1 is being shown, and that tty2,tty3,tty4 are
available.
tty4 is valuable because it contains log information.
My question is:
What keystroke do I use to switch between tty1 and tty4?
I tried alt+F4 but that closes the lxterminal process window on the host.
I tried ctrl+alt+F4 but that takes me to tty4 on the host, not in the VM.
