I've got text = consoles on the first six, though I'm only logged into four of those. = And no, control + alt + any function key does nothing when I press it = from a logged-in Gnome session other than the screen reader announcing = the keys as I press them. Furthermore, super does nothing nor does F10 by itself or with alt, = super or control. Only key I can get to do anything is alt + F2 or, when = I'm in an application like a browser, alt + f4 to close it. Any further thoughts?

Did you try other virtual consoles? With systemd, GDM runs on VT1, so = there won't be a text virtual console there if you use GDM.

I'm wondering if it could be a keyboard map issue. > I also discovered that alt + F10 doesn't pull up the Gnome menu Alt+F10 is the shortcut to toggle between maximized and restored (non- maximized) state. Super+F10 is for global application menu, while F10 is = for normal menu opening (gear menu for new HIG apps and menubar in = old-style stuff). Super is the key between Ctrl and Alt. > and numlock is > always on; pressing it doesn't seem to turn it off.

If = > it is my keymap, can anyone advise me on resetting or changing that? The whole interface is changed compared to GNOME 2, and I suspect that's = what you are experiencing here. There is no global "Start Menu" or Application tree menu. Hitting Super (and releasing it without = pressing anything else besides the modifier) will open up the activities = overview. In there you can launch application by starting to type the = name, or browse the installed applications. There are extensions that = restore the old thing a bit, but I'm not sure how accessible they are. Best, Mart
