During the graphical emulation, you can use special key combinations to
change modes. The default key mappings are shown below, but if you use

and if you use -ctrl-grab
then the modifier is the right Ctrl key
(instead of Ctrl-Alt):
- Ctrl-Alt-f
Toggle full screen
- Ctrl-Alt-+
Enlarge the screen
- Ctrl-Alt--
Shrink the screen

In the virtual consoles, you can use Ctrl-Up, Ctrl-Down, Ctrl-PageUp and Ctrl-PageDown to move in the back log.
