Well, below is a few key presses that you can use and some that you may want to avoid. So what other Host key presses can I use in VirtualBox? Use the VBoxManage utility on the host platform (VBoxManage.exe on Windows, VBoxManage on Linux, /Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxManage on OS X) and do the following where VM-name is the name of the VM and WxHxBPP is the resolution and bit-per-pixel youre running your host OS at, such as 1280x800x16. So you can go ahead and press the Right Ctrl + C to exit these modes.

Well, the Host key on a Windows machine is actually the Right Ctrl key (unless you have manually reconfigured the shortcut keys). One of these key presses is to exit scale or full mode which is Host+C or you can use Host+Home to bring up the menu bar and then you can click the View menu option and change the settings.īut – what if you are using a Windows machine – what the hell is the Host key!?. In the settings you will notice that mentioned a lot is the Host+(something) key.

Well the solution is very simple but not very clear.
