I don't see how it could be simpler than using a Linux console,
since that is as simple as could be. I have 8 of them, and to use
one, I just type the character that switches.
When you claim it is simpler, that has to be a misundersanding.

1. It will be different
2. I don't have any idea how to use fbterm.
3. I odn't know what new inconveniences it would cause.
ISTR seeing a discussion about whether fbterm "steals characters".
I did not follow it because I don't use fbterm.
I would like Emacs to handle nondisplayable characters on Linux
consoles the way it did a year ago. I am sure that can't be hard.
