keyboard auto capture questions

Post by Argaiv »

Hi there,
I have to disable auto capture keyboard and I noticed some unexpected strange behaviour that I would love if someone could explain me more.
Even though it is disabled on the settings and it is mostly not captured, some keys are still captured by the windows guest vm. Most of the keys are not but the arrows, "Enter" and "Escape" keys are and I really wonder why only these?

Quick background, I have a disability and I have to use a special device to use my computer.
Basically, my computer only needs to be able to get the "1" key at all times but everything else could be captured without any problems.
I would like to know more to see if there is a way to capture everything but the "1" key.

I hope it makes sense and feel free to tell me if I'm not and I will explain more :D

thanks for taking the time
