how to send CTRL+ALT+F1 to a guest?

Postby stephanecharette » 15. Sep 2008, 08:33

How to send CTRL+ALT+F1, or CTRL+ALT+F2, etc..., to my guest? At the moment, my linux-based host intercepts those keystrokes even though the guest window has focus.

I see the "Machine" menu has two options called:

-> "Insert Ctrl-Alt-Del"
-> "Insert Ctrl-Alt-Backspace"

Can I (easily?) edit something somewhere to also add "CTRL-ALT-F1" to that list?

Hi,

-> "Insert Ctrl-Alt-Del"

"host key"-Del

-> "Insert Ctrl-Alt-Backspace"

"host key"-Backspace

"CTRL-ALT-F1" to that list?

"host key"-F1

where "host key" usually is the right CTRL
