Starting point
Work in progress with ill defined purpose, and overused categories.
As the producers can’t sack the writers for they are one and the same, replacing them with highly trained llamas is right out. We will muddle through a centrist course, which seems to be how the rest of the world does it.
Virtual Box eats control sequences.
OMG — I finally fixed Virtual Boxes tendancy to eat control keys sent to guest systems. Naturally, it was not VBoxes fault — but an outside setup. Read that uninformed tweaking gets me in trouble again.
Thanks to http://www.giannistsakiris.com/index.php/2009/01/23/virtualbox-does-not-send-control-key-events-to-guest-os/, disabling the mouse locator when the keyboard <CTRL> key is hit allows the full control sequence to get to the guest VM, rather than just the non modified key.
Betterness prevails today.
