You can't assign or reassign a key you don't have. I take it you mean that you want to assign the host key function to another key. Why do you say you can't do that? It's there in File|Preferences|Input|Virtual Machine, top of the list of key assignments.

Works fine for me. E.g. if I press the F12 key then the field changes to "F12". Obviously I can't tell you what keys are available on your unusual keyboard - I'd just warn you to of course avoid keys that the guest wants to use.

Thanks mpack!
I didnt realize you just typed a key in (the actual key press)-thought you had to select from a field or something! Thanks again you solved my issue!

Cheers,
Rusty
