F22 Beta on my machine (I run G3):
Alt-Ctrl-F3 = fully functional text mode console
Alt-Ctrl-F2 = Restore previous X session
Alt-Ctrl-F1 = Create new X session
I was not prepared for this and got it sorted by accident. Alt-Ctrl-F2
for a console is going to be a tough habit to break.
This is a systemd convention -- it's actually this way in F21 too.
In short, Alt-Ctrl-F6 is the new Alt-Ctrl-F2. :)
Two VTs are handled specially by the auto-spawning logic: firstly
tty1 gets special treatment: if we boot into graphical mode the
display manager takes possession of this VT. If we boot into
multi-user (text) mode a getty is started on it -- unconditionally,
without any on-demand logic[2].
Secondly, tty6 is especially reserved for auto-spawned gettys and
unavailable to other subsystems such as X[3]. This is done in order to
ensure that there's always a way to get a text login, even if due to
fast user switching X took possession of more than 5 VTs.
