Life, unrolling…

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.
