No. It has always been ctrl-alt-f1, never alt-f1, as far as I remember.
Once you are in text mode, alt-f1, alt-f2, etc do work.

I always thought it was CA-F{1-7}, but that never worked on my main system (which boots in text mode). I noted it was only Alt-F{1-7} that ever worked for me. It has been so long since I booted in a graphics mode, that I was beginning to think it was only the Alt variation that worked. Thanks for explaining it!
Welcome!
Now, 2-3 questions -- where do I edit the network settings?
In YaST. You setup the network in YaST, as always, it has not changed. The actual implementation does, but not YaST. If you want to use Network Manager, then you tell so to YaST, and then handle it in your desktop of choice, in the Network Manager applet. There are also CLI tools, but I'm not familiar with them.
and
why don't I see the packages on the DVD when I go into the SW manager in yast?
Probably the DVD repo is missing. For instance, in one Leap machine I have:
# | Alias | Name | Enabled | GPG Check | Refresh | Priority | Type | URI | Service
2 | openSUSE-42.2-0 | openSUSE-42.2-0 | No | ---- | ---- | 99 | yast2 | hd:///?device=/dev/disk/by-id/usb-Verbatim_STORE_N_GO_1203001215022E28-0:0-part2 |

(sure wish I could cut/paste the text from the text console so I could show what I'm seeing).
You can, with 'gpm'.
3rd -- I still don't know why none of the lvm modules were loaded. (dm_XXXXXX). I finally got it to work manually, but don't know why the new system startup code didn't load them automatically -- even my old startup code knows how to do that.
