Given how I use a virtual machine I don’t really have a need for a host key and I set it to ‘None’. Hence, you can’t copy with the keyboard :). Unfortunately, that means when using the virtual machine and you want to perform an action such as copy with ctrl-c, the key command is captured by VirtualBox and is not received by the guest OS. When using a Linux host the host key is set to right ctrl. The ‘host key’ is a key that when used specifies that you want to perform an action on the virtual machine container and not the OS running inside of the virtual machine. Host Key & Stolen Shortcut Key Combinationsīefore creating the virtual machine we need to change some VirtualBox settings related to the ‘host key’. Then follow the usual installation procedure for your host OS. Go to the VirtualBox download page and download the package for your host OS. Ubuntu 19.04 is beautiful to look at compared to 18.04, but it is a short-term release and therefore not widely supported by all of the apps and tools you will need.
