Hi,
how can I enter a keyboard shortcut with modifier keys in File > Preferences... > Input > Virtual Machine? When I select a field in the shortcut column, hold down some modifier keys and then hit a character key, all I get is "Host+<char>".
Sorry for asking. I'm sure this is documented somewhere in the manual and probably has been discussed in this forum as well. I just couldn't find the information.
Thanks, mjf

Re: How to add keyboard shortcuts with modifiers
For the Virtualbox Manager, the shortcuts are only coming out Ctrl+key or key only. Attempts to include Shift or Alt fail.
For the VM, the shortcut can only be a single key, which is then displayed as Host+key. Ctrl, Shift, Alt are ignored.
I don't see any other way to force these ignored combinations.

Re: How to add keyboard shortcuts with modifiers
There are some shortcuts for the VM that use Shift+Ctrl. They are hardwired, then?
If there is no way to enter shortcuts with modifier keys, may be I should open a ticket?

You could try an enhancement request on the Bugtracker.
