Switch between Apps on MacOS Guest, MacBook Air with MacOS Sierra Host, VirtualBox

Post by joseluisbz »

Hi,

I have a MacBook Air with MacOS Sierra 10.12.3

I installed MacOS Sierra 10.12 like Guest.

I can't using Trackpad to switch between applications on my Guest.

I want to configure the Key, to switch between applications on MacOS Sierra.

I have like Guest Windows 10 and CentOS 7, and they works perfectly with ALT+TAB, but with MacOS doesn't works!

NOTE: I was finding on Google.

How Can I configure to switch between Apps on my Guest MacOS?

What do you mean? I'm not sure this is a VirtualBox question.

What "key" and are you talking about the host or the guest? And I'm not sure that's a VirtualBox question either.

Yes, because the default "Switch Apps" is Alt-Tab in Win10 and CentOS, but it's Cmd-Tab in OSX.

I believe that's where the confusion comes from, the default HostKey. You can change it in the preferences. See: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=60715

Sorry!

If you have a post indicating how configure VirtualBox, to do visible Trackpad to MacOS Guest.

With the Key, I want to says (Key Combination), I know for Windows and CentOS is Alt + Tab works, but for MacOS Cmd + Tab.

Thank you.

If I "translate" this correctly, you're asking how to make an OSX guest use your trackpad. Unfortunately you can't. Just look at the guest's System Preferences. You don't have a trackpad item, or if you do, it says "Trackpad not found".

There is an option that you can change, VM Settings » System » Pointing Device : USB Multi-Touch Tablet, but I don't know how it affects OSX guests. I did not see any difference...

I'm not sure I understand the question. If you don't speak English natively, post the question in your language and we can use Google translate (https://translate.google.com/).
