Also read this post [https://forum.manjaro.org/t/virtual-consoles-not-working-ctrl-alt-f1-6/3902] but didn't help.
Also tried Ctrl+Alt+Fn+[F1-F2-etc] and it didn't work.
Also tried commenting out "Option "XkbVariant" "alt-intl-unicode"" from /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf file.
$ chvt [1-2-3] works, I get a prompt.
Also once I get to a tty (via chvt) I can gracefully switch between them using Ctrl+Alt+F1,2,etc as long as I don’t land on a graphical session. I have no other issues with my keyboard, even function and media keys work as expected.

I also DON'T have "Keyboard Settings > Advanced > Miscellaneous compatibility options > Special keys handled in server" checked.
Also read this post [https://forum.manjaro.org/t/virtual-consoles-not-working-ctrl-alt-f1-6/3902] but didn't help.
Also tried Ctrl+Alt+Fn+[F1-F2-etc] and it didn't work.
Also tried commenting out "Option "XkbVariant" "alt-intl-unicode"" from /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf file.
$ chvt [1-2-3] works, I get a prompt.
Also once I get to a tty (via chvt) I can gracefully switch between them using Ctrl+Alt+F1,2,etc as long as I don’t land on a graphical session. I have no other issues with my keyboard, even function and media keys work as expected.
PS: My system
