That's simply not possible. When you don't pass -d the container is
directly attached to the parent console, we can't detach it from it.

You may however be able to get something similar by passing -L to
lxc-start or by attaching to tty0 with lxc-console -n container -t 0

The hotkey is configurable so you can easy change it to something which
doesn't conflict with whatever software you are running.
