How do I access console from GDM ? (wayland)

When on GDM login screen, Ctrl+Alt+F3 ... F7 does not work.
After logging into GNOME desktop, then Ctrl+Alt+F1 will bring me to GDM, F2 back to GNOME, and F3 to F7 to a TTY terminal.
But before I log into GNOME, I'm unable to switch to a terminal. Trying to do so even results in loosing my trackpad and no more control over the mouse pointer.
So are tty3 to tty7 (or more?) available when on GDM before logging into GNOME? If so, how to access them? If not, why, and how can I enable them?
gnome login tty gdm wayland

Seems to be a problem for many people: See askubuntu.com/questions/1037369/… or askubuntu.com/questions/1028328/… Any new insights?

There was a bug whereAlt+F4was opening the console, maybe that key combination will work on the login screen for you?

Get a wired Internet connection, the following steps will work like charm for you :
start your machine then immediately upon start of boot begin to repeatedly tap shift key until the purple grub menu appears
use down arrow key to move cursor to "Advanced options" for Ubuntu then hit enter
choose one saying "recovery mode" and hit enter
now at screen called " Recovery Menu" use arrow keys to move down to "option root Drop to root shell prompt" then hit enter
type this at the terminal :
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgradethen press enter
enter your password if it asked and hit enter
reboot and try to login
