changing Host key on VB

I'm using VB 2.1.4. with Windows Vista OS and XP guest system.
In my notebook Toshiba there's no 'right' ctrl key. Just one on the left.
How can I change the Host key in virtual box to another key ?

Another issue:
Virtual additions are installed and the mouse (of the machine and external)
is working. However the right button of the mouse is not working properly.
When I copy or cut it does not paste.
Where's the problem?
Thanks Adrian

VirtualBox Program GUI
File -> preferences -> input Click on the box that hast the host key listed it will turn blue. Press another control key and it will change. Save and exit.

Not sure about the mouse issue. I have not had nor heard of this being a problem with version 2.14.
