Toggle to set "Start" button in GUI to launch VM headless.

Post by MPerz »

Just as the title says, I very humbly wish to request a toggle to set the "Start" button behavior in the GUI to launch VMs headless. Such an option should probably be disabled by default as a lot of users that never run machines headless may be left scratching their heads, but for me it would be a very welcome feature.

Try to hold "Shift" when you click on the "Start" button.

There was a discussion (can't find it at the moment) where it was proposed to have an option on what the preferred startup should be. I proposed to keep it as is with Shift-Start for Headless and Ctrl-Shift-Start for Detachable.
