dunno about you, but for me (os 12.2) it mattered whether I used the
right or the left <CTRL><ALT> with <F7> -- with the right pair, nothing
happened -- with the left, I got back straight away -- go figure
simple explanation: right <alt> is <compose>
ie: <rt-alt> != <alt>
Wrong. SUSE _wrongly_ usually put <compose> on . Right "Alt"
is usually "AltGr" aka "Mode_switch" aka "ISO-Level3-Switch".
Of course, here, it's different (MS := "mode_switch"):
<ESC>
.. ..
<space>
Both on console as under X. From my /etc/dnh.map loaded by kbd:
/etc/sysconfig/keyboard:KEYTABLE="/etc/dnh.map"
====
keycode 29 = Control
keycode 125 = AltGr
keycode 56 = Alt
keycode 57 = space space nobreakspace nobreakspace
keycode 100 = Alt
keycode 126 = AltGr
keycode 127 = Compose
keycode 97 = Control

That's very old and that "Compose" should long be "Meta". Compose is
on the "Print" key (under X too, and no, the SysRq function is not in
any way impeded). I just rarely use the console for anything but basic
stuff where I usually just use the underlying US-Layout.
Anyway: getting back to X on vt7 should be possible using "<Alt>+<F7>".
Not neccessarily via "<AltGr>+<F7>", IIRC. So, it depends on the
keymap that is used.
HTH,
