I am running an Ubuntu 16.04 VM in VirtualBox 5.0.18 and I need to switch to TTY1, how can this be achieved? Is there a keyboard shortcut to achieve this in the guest session because doing the normal one just switches to TTY1 in the host?

The keyboard shortcut in VirtualBox to switch to a TTY is (replace X
with the number of the TTY you wish to switch to (e.g.: F1 for TTY1)):
Host Key + FX
Normally, the Right Control key is your host key.
I think it's CTRL + ALT + F1 after entering fullscreen mode, and back to GUI by CTRL + ALT + F7.

2No, that's for the host, I need to know for the guest.– user364819Apr 24, 2016 at 15:57

It would be good if this was not required of me, but I have already found the answer as you probably will have seen. Thank you for your answer anyway. :)– user364819Apr 24, 2016 at 19:18
