Can't open tty with Ctrl+Alt+F* key

Hello. I am not sure if that is the right section for my problem.

I can't open tty with Ctrl+Alt+F* key. It turns only with F1 to "Booting 'Gentoo GNU/Linux' Loading Linux 6.3.3-gentoo.." and with other F keys goes back to KDE

There's a thread about pretty much this somewhere which I can't find, if you use sddm, try downgrading to 0.18
I spent a christmas in Vienna twenty something years ago. It was a beautiful city. Everyone was so friendly.

After tweaking with kernel and Character Devices problem solved.

Now i can go to tty1 tty3 tty4 tty5 tt6

With Ctrl+Alt+F2 return to X

How do i change the order? I mean to have Ctrl+Alt+F7 return to X and the rest to tty?

Thanks
