Is there a way to alter key bindings so that key sequences like Ctl+Alt+Fn (n=1....9) can be intercepted by GUEST and be able to see a GUEST virtual tty? Thanx.

VirtualBox generally uses Host+key combination. You can alter this behavior in File>Preference>Input. -- Regards, Sudhir Khanger, sudhirkhanger.com, github.com/donniezazen, 5577 8CDB A059 085D 1D60 807F 8C00 45D9 F5EF C394.

HOST (usually ctrl-right) + F2 gives you tty 2 immediatly, without altering anything, HOST + F1 switches back to your desktop. -- Klaus-Peter Schrage Fridtjof-Nansen-Str. 21 D-38108 Braunschweig Tel.: +49 531 355178 Fax: +49 531 3557473 Mobil: +49 171 1940 497

VirtualBox generally uses Host+key combination. You can alter this behavior in File>Preference>Input.

By default, VBox uses right CTRL as the host key. That means that the left CTRL key should be passed to the guest and should work as expected. If you can adjust to using only the left CTRL, you're good. Otherwise, if you are really really used to typing with both of them, reconfigure the VBox manager to move the host key to something else that you don't use often (stuff like the Scroll Lock or Pause/Break or any of the potential "multimedia" keys that you don't otherwise use should do). HTH, :-) Marko
