Solved Cant change tty in console after crash

After something like a crash using elinks to access a website through console (while having sway with video and browser open in another tyy), i cant no longer Alt+F change tty on console, not can i Ctrl-Alt-F when in sway. The console also has bigger characters (as when before installing i915 Intel drivers), so it maybe a graphics driver issue, i dont know. The problem persists even after reboot. Any ideas whay happened?

Only ttyv3 and ttyv6 working atm.
 
Did you know you can use the "prtscr" (Print Screen) key on your keyboard to cycle through the virtual terminals on the console? Does that work? It's a weird situation you have, makes very little sense. Things might have gotten messed up right after the crash, but it should all go back to normal after a reboot. But maybe the crash left the video card in a weird state and a reboot didn't 'reset' that state. Does it work again after you power off completely?

I pressed prtscr, and the problem seems to have resolved, even Alt+Fn works now for all the ttys. Thank you.
