Right+Ctrl key does not return mouse to windows host from Centos

Post by t9876543 »

This previously has worked fine since Centos 7 was installed in Virtual Box a year ago. Now all of a sudden Right+Ctrl key will not return mouse to Windows 7.

File->Preferences->Input->Virtual Machine->Host Key Combination is set to 'Right Ctrl.'

How can this be resolved or do I have to remove VirtualBox and reinstall both VirtualBox and Centos 7?

VirtualBox is release 5.2.30

Nothing happens in software "all of a sudden", something must have changed in your setup.
  • Try to set the HostKey, as the "Application Menu" key, see if that works.
  • With the VM running, check your host's menu "Input" » "Mouse integration". How does that look?
