Is it possible to switch virtual terminals when viewing a Xen console?
For instance, I'm using virt-manager to install a guest OS of Fedora rawhide. During the install, it would be helpful if I could see the other virtual terminals, like when I press ALT-F2 during a bare-metal text-based install (or CTRL-ALT-F2 during a graphical install).

You can use the (undocumented :-) sticky keys feature of virt-manager. If you press the same modifier key 3 times in a row, it wil stay active until the next non-modifier is pressed.
eg Ctrl Ctrl Ctrl Alt+F2
will send Ctlr+Alt+F2
