Hi,

I would start to say I love VirtualBox.

So, I think it would be tremendous helpful if VB had a "Console" view where we could rapidly switch between running VMs consoles (clicking in a VM would change the right panel to its console), contrary to what happens with current detachable consoles.

So, in the VB GUI, there would be:

- Welcome
- Console
- Media
- Network
- Cloud

Hope you find this suggestion as useful as I am.

Thanks.

If I gather correctly, you'd like the right pane of the main Virtualbox window to carry a full-service interactable VM window embedded, and you click the VM in the list and its desktop/terminal appears in the right pane.

Interesting concept. It's like the Preview, except that it's full-pane, and you can interact with the VM's OS in the pane. Very much like a tabbed interface that others have asked for.

What will the 'console view' do when one VM is running DOS or text-only at 640x480, and the next VM is running at 1920x1080? Stretch/squeeze the view?
