Command Q / host key combo problem
Posted: 21. Oct 2017, 16:45
Hello,
There's a problem with the host key selection under Mac OS X. When I press Cmd-Q to quit an application, I get the VBox powerdown menu ("You want to ( ) save the machine state ( ) Send the shutdown signal (*) Power off the machine").
This happens whether I press the left Cmd key (default host key) or the right Cmd key.
I tried changing the host key under Input->Keyboard->Keyboard Settings to the left Option key. This does indeed work for going full screen (host-F == left Option-F), but does not work for Cmd-Q (left or right Cmd key). Vbox still captures the Cmd-Q and goes to the powerdown menu. Kind of a problem if you can't curb your Cmd-Q reflexes.
Any way to fix this? Obviously the work-around is "don't do that", but would be good to make it work right.
Running with host OS 10.11.6 (El Capitan) and guest OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard); VirtualBox 5.1.30.
Thanks,
Charles
