You need a second teleop node in order to control ``turtle2``.
However, if you try to run the same command as before, you will notice that this one also controls ``turtle1``.
The way to change this behavior is by remapping the ``cmd_vel`` topic.
The way to change this behavior is by remapping the ``cmd_vel`` topic and the ``rotate_absolute`` action.

In a new terminal, source ROS 2, and run:

.. code-block:: console

$ ros2 run turtlesim turtle_teleop_key --ros-args --remap turtle1/cmd_vel:=turtle2/cmd_vel
$ ros2 run turtlesim turtle_teleop_key --ros-args --remap turtle1/cmd_vel:=turtle2/cmd_vel --remap turtle1/rotate_absolute:=turtle2/rotate_absolute


Now, you can move ``turtle2`` when this terminal is active, and ``turtle1`` when the other terminal running ``turtle_teleop_key`` is active.
