Toggle between xterm window and standard terminal window
Is it possible to toggle back and forth between an xterm invoked from one tty, and a shell invoked from a different tty?
I am running Centos 7 with KDE and booting in non-graphic mode. After logging in on the default window (/dev/tty1) , I can then use ALT-F2 to access a new window (/dev/tty2), log in and invoke xterm. I now have graphical window available to me but apparently have lost the original window, unless I close/logout of the xterm window.
My question is, I would like to get back to the non-graphic shell running on /dev/tty1 without closing the xterm window invoked from /dev/tty2, essentially having both available running and the ability to flip back and forth?
I there a way to do this?
Thanks,
rhgscty
