Spaces and Virtualbox VM

Post by rolandjyoung »

Hello everyone,

VirtualBox VM I have toyed with the idea of installing on my MAC, then though Boot camp, VMWare Fusion, and thought VirtualBox again, so I have gone for it.

Anyway I have setup VirtualBox and VirtualBox VM to startup in particular space say 3.

Unfortunately when I switch the space I am not able to use the quick keys to switch, back any of my other spaces. I am go between everything except when I reach the space where VirtualBox is running, I am stuck.

I have to either use the bock to switch to another app or the Spaces icon on my menu bar at the top.

Is tis a bug?

maybe your keyboard is locked to the virtual machine when you cycle through the VirtualBox space.
please have a look on the keyboard indicator when cycling through your space to VirtuaBox's space.

When I switch to the VirtualBox VM space it automatically takes the entire focus... mouse and keybaord

The only way I can get round it is to left (Apple key) click then press my spaces switch keys which is apple+arrows.

Any ideas how i can get round it?


I seemed not to have this issue using Vmware Fusion
