VNC and howto switch CLI login-screens with ALT-Fx for kvm-linux VMs.

[p3x-749]

Okay, this might be a noop question but my google-fu seems not strong enough for this.

When installing a linux distro, that only comes with a CLI (no GUI, no X) in a KVM VM...

...how can I use the ALT-Fx switch inside the embedded vnc connection
(that is web-vnc session started from proxmox UI) to switch to the different logins/terminals/screens
of that distro, like I can do in a native install ?

...oh, yes, I tried...but ALT-Fx always has the focus on the OS that runs the WebBrowser connected to the proxmox host.

TIA,
