chvt changes the foreground virtual terminal. deallocvt deallocates unused virtual terminals. dumpkeys dumps the keyboard translation tables. fgconsole prints the number of the active virtual terminal. getkeycodes prints the kernel scancode-to-keycode mapping table. getunimap prints the currently used unimap. kbd_mode reports or sets the keyboard mode. kbdrate sets the keyboard repeat and delay rates. loadkeys loads the keyboard translation tables. loadunimap loads the kernel unicode-to-font mapping table. mapscrn is an obsolete program that used to load a user-defined output character mapping table into the console driver. This is now done by setfont. openvt starts a program on a new virtual terminal (VT). psf* are a set of tools for handling Unicode character tables for console fonts. resizecons changes the kernel idea of the console size. setfont lets you change the EGA/VGA fonts on the console. setkeycodes loads kernel scancode-to-keycode mapping table entries, useful if you have some unusual keys on your keyboard. setleds sets the keyboard flags and LEDs. Many people find it useful to have NumLock on by default, setleds +num achieves this. setlogcons sends kernel messages to the console. setmetamode defines the keyboard meta key handling. setvesablank lets you fiddle with the built-in hardware screensaver (no toasters, just a blank screen). showconsolefont shows the current EGA/VGA console screen font. showkey reports the scancodes and keycodes and ASCII codes of the keys pressed on the keyboard. unicode_start puts the keyboard and console in unicode mode. unicode_stop reverts keyboard and console from unicode mode.
