In CentOS 7, you can bring up a command window using the following method:

  1. You can switch to different virtual terminals by using any of the keys Ctrl + Alt + F1 to F6. Typically, Ctrl + Alt + F1 corresponds to the graphical interface, while Ctrl + Alt + F2 to F6 correspond to command line terminals. Therefore, using Ctrl + Alt + F2 key allows you to switch to a command window.
  2. If you are logged into the graphical interface, you can open the terminal application. The terminal application is usually found in the application menu, often named “Terminal”, “Command Line Terminal”, or “Terminal Emulator”, etc. Once you click to open the terminal application, you will enter the command window.
  3. Another method is to use the shortcut Ctrl + Alt + T, which typically opens a new command line terminal window in the graphical interface of CentOS 7.

You can call up a command window in CentOS 7 using a virtual terminal, terminal application, or shortcut keys.
