Just a thought:
Due to the proliferation of Microsoft Copilot Keyboards on laptops and new PCs, which replaces the Right-CTRL key, would it be wise to change the default Host Key binding to Right-ALT? Which appears to still exist on all keyboards?
I run VirtualBox on Windows and Linux Platforms (PCs and Laptops). New laptops are being shipped from major vendors without a Right-CTRL key, as it has been replaced with the Microsoft Copilot key. This key has a complicated sequence when depressed and makes it almost impossible to remap (on Linux) back to what a Right-CTRL key sends.
Propose New Default Host Key Binding?

Right-ALT would be a bad choice. That's AltGr on non-English layouts, and it's used for normal input.
Frankly vendors should fix this crap by allowing to disable the button in the EFI settings.
