[Solved] Disable mouse and keyboard messages

Post by Moltke »

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life! :) I was wondering whether it is possible to disable the messages when a VM starts about mouse and keyboard support, you know those messages that tell you that the VM supports mouse integration or keyboard. Is it? is it not? I know it might be a silly question but still, I'd like to know if I can disable that on those VMs I know work fine. I know I can just click the "x" and close them, but sometimes I'm using my wireless keyboard and would like not to have to use the mouse just for that. Thank you in advance for your answers!

It is a while since I saw that but there is an option somewhere there to not show it again.

Don't close the "x", hover over the dialog and press the "dialog icon".
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

Can't do it! When I do that I get an error message, something about "memory cannot be written" and something else but I don't remember. Also, the dialogue icon is disabled, it is crossed out, and now that I think of it, it's always been like that, but I never tried to used it before. What's going on? By the way, I have a usb mouse not sure that could be the problem. Thanks for your answer!

Well no more error messages. I was able to press the dialog icon and that made it. Thank you so much for your assistance.
