I am currently trying to install Ubuntu 20.04.3 in VirtualBox on a host running the same OS and am noticing that the host key doesn't seem to be doing anything. In particular, referencing the User Manual (I am unable to post urls, but it is the first result in Google when you search "virtualbox user manual"), I am expecting this behavior:
Code: Select all
The host mouse pointer will disappear, and your mouse will drive the guest's pointer instead of your normal mouse pointer.
To release ownership of your mouse by the VM, press the Host key.
Code: Select all
Most importantly, the Guest Additions suppress the second "guest" mouse pointer and make your host mouse pointer work directly in the guest.
I would prefer if the virtual machine would let me capture/release the mouse via the host key instead of automatically tracking my mouse whenever it is over the virtual machine. Is there a way to do this?
