+
+Keys in the character backend multiplexer
+-----------------------------------------
+
+During emulation, if you are using a character backend multiplexer
+(which is the default if you are using ``-nographic``) then several
+commands are available via an escape sequence. These key sequences all
+start with an escape character, which is Ctrl-a by default, but can be
+changed with ``-echr``. The list below assumes you're using the default.
+
+Ctrl-a h
+ Print this help
+
+Ctrl-a x
+ Exit emulator
+
+Ctrl-a s
+ Save disk data back to file (if -snapshot)
+
+Ctrl-a t
+ Toggle console timestamps
+
+Ctrl-a b
+ Send break (magic sysrq in Linux)
+
+Ctrl-a c
+ Rotate between the frontends connected to the multiplexer (usually
+ this switches between the monitor and the console)
+
+Ctrl-a Ctrl-a
+ Send the escape character to the frontend
