Ticket #10105, comment 12
initial v1 1 I'm thinking of doing this. Adding a command to the UI named MinimizeMachine, to which the user can set a shortcut (e.g. control-M). I think commands like this are active in any VBox-headed mode, e.g. Full Screen, Seamless, or regular virtualbox window.1 Specific Proposed Implementation: Add a command to the UI named e.g. MinimizeMachine which is the minimize in the mini-Toolbar. The user can set a shortcut (e.g. control-M) for this command using existing methods. This shortcut command would be active in any VBox-headed mode, e.g. Full Screen, Seamless, or regular virtualbox window. I expect in Seamless mode, this minimizes the whole machine with all of its windows, but I do not use Seamless so I do not know. 2 2 3 I am not thinking of adding any access to this except as a shortcut. However, I could see that one might want access, e.g. from the Popup, for instance by adding a Minimize command on the Machine menu between Pause and Reset, but I don't want my little mod here to get stuck in some committee debate for changes to the user-visible UI. 3 This specific proposal does not include adding anything to the main UI, such as adding a Minimize command on the Machine menu of the Virtualbox Control-Home Popup and so on, since specifying that would seem to be a whole -other debate. However, once the new command is in place, adding that should not be too hard given consensus on the spec. 4 5 I was going to work this, but I just got a new job. I think buying a second monitor for VirtualBox full screen is the smarter option till I have some time.
