Mac keyboard shortcuts are aggravating
I use QMK it's firmware that communicates between you input devices and the rest of the computer. But not all keyboards (especially laptop keyboards) are not QMK compatible. In these situations you can use KBD does much of the same things except specificly for keyboard input and also is not as customizable.

How can I switch between different ttys in code?
There's a console tool called `chvt` which switches to a numbered vt. The source is at https://github.com/legionus/kbd/blob/master/src/chvt.c it looks like it uses a few ioctl's on the tty

The year of the GNU/Linux gaming rig is nigh!
That's sixel based, so it isn't tty compatible (unless one compiles yaft from source, which is so esoteric that it isn't even packaged in Debian).
