<Shift> + F1 does nothing here, are you sure you didn't configure xfce or something else to use <Shift> + F1 to change to a virtual console?

I have other 2 laptops and 3 workstations at the office, all of them with Arch Linux x86_64 + xfce4, and all of them behave the same way. If I hit <shift> + F1 it goes to the virtual console.

I have installed them all from scratch (following to beginners guide), and I'm sure I haven't configured anything to do that.

Could it have anything related to the NVIDIA proprietary driver?

I'm on a laptop with Arch Linux x86_64 + xfce4 and <shift>+F1 does nothing too. I don't have a Nvidia card. -- thiagoc "O povo não deveria temer o governo. O governo é quem deveria temer o povo." V de Vingança

What keymap are you using? -- Cédric Girard

Thanks for the clue. The keymap was the problem. I had a custom keyboard layout that had a few bugs. Using the default keymap solves the problem.

Thanks for the help!

You're welcome! -- Cédric Girard

Any ideas of how to do that?

I can't reproduce this, too.

But maybe you could check if you have set a keyboard shortcut to <Shift>+F1 in Xfce here:

Settings -> Keyboard -> Application Shortcuts Settings -> Window Manager -> Keyboard

Switching from X to a virtual console is usually done by <Ctrl>+<Alt>+F1. So maybe you or an application has changed this setting somehow.

This is a long shot but, might a login manager be responsible for that? Here I'm not using any login manager. -- Mauro Santos
