I have a recent installation of 6.08 on a Linux (Kubuntu 18.04) host. In preferences, there is no entry to change the host key combination (it's usually in File-Preferences-Input).
Is it still possible to change the host key combination in 6.0.8?
No way to change "Host Key Combination" (missing from Preferences)
Re: No way to change "Host Key Combination" (missing from Preferences)
Well I figured how to do this in the console with "VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/Input/HostKeyCombination" using the decimal version of the keysym value returned by xev. Still not sure why this isn't showing up in the Preferences GUI, but at least I am able to set my host key the way I like it.

BTW, what's the output of "VBoxManage -version"?
