How to use the ALT key in a Virtual Box guest session?
5chdn's solution is too cumbersome.
Instead of Alt
, use Win+Alt
in guest and you're done.
For example, to use Rubymine's multiple caret mode, original shortcut is Alt+click
, which becomes Win+Alt+click
. Easy peasy.
This worked for me finally:
The ALT key works within the virtual box guest session if you run it in fullscreen without mouse integration.
HOST+I
disables the mouse integration.HOST+F
switches to fullscreen.
Hit HOST+I
and HOST+F
again to return to your host system.
