Post by jovial »

Hello

From Ubuntu 8.10 the os guest is xp + addtions
I can leave full screen with key host+F

But for casual users I would like to create a shortcut (icone) on xp desktop to leave fullsceen.

No, this is not (yet?) possible. Keyboard shortcuts that involve the Host key are special macro's that the VB process itself has to see and act upon it. If you would, for example, attach a keyboard through USB directly to the VM and hit the same shortcut, it won't work.
