Yes, I do use GUI applications. Lots of them. I do use KMail. And I do remember
key combinations I use on a regular basis, while others I don't care for. But
all that is very unlike that Ctrl-Alt-F2 key combination in that those GUI apps
have menus as a first entry point, toolbar buttons as a second, and hotkeys as
a (redundant, but more efficient if you use that function a lot) third.
But frankly, you are the first user I ever got in contact with who knows how to
use "fdisk", but not how to use the Linux virtual consoles. The much more
common case is that those who use the shell a lot also do much low-level work,
and that includes using the virtual consoles. And most users who don't know how
to switch virtual consoles don't know much about shell commands, let alone in a
very limited environment like the inst-sys. Those users will typically do more
harm to themselves (or, rather, their computer) if explicitly pointed to that
whole new world of Ctrl-Alt-F2.
As for man pages: Of course those key combinations, too are documented in man
pages. See "man xorg".
