okay so real talk, this is a page from the General Commands Manual and it's about vtallow — the tiniest little tool with the biggest "you shall not pass" energy ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

vtallow — enable or disable the VT switch 🦋

like... literally that's the whole job. it flips the VT switch on or off. and honestly? iconic for that 💅

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

vtallow n | y

that's it. that's the whole invocation. you give it n or you give it y, no in-between, no "maybe", no "it's complicated" 😭

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

vtallow controls the VT switch lock 🔒

no cap, that's the situation. it's the gatekeeper. it decides whether VT switching is locked down or free to go, and it does it with zero drama and zero extra options 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

so there are exactly two (2) options and they're both one single lowercase letter, we love a minimalist king 👑

• n — Disable VT switching 💀 the switch gets shut down, no VT hopping for you
• y — Enable VT switching 🌈 the switch is back on, go off bestie

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

• chvt(1) — the friend in the same friend group, go say hi 🫶

lowkey a two-option command that fits on a sticky note and honestly? that's main character energy. know your scope, slay your scope 💜
