#11731 closed enhancement (wontfix)

Please enable setting "PrtSc" (Print Screen) as the Host key

Description

On the ThinkPad T430s (similar for X230, T430, T530, W530, etc...), the keyboard is vastly changed.

The key between right Alt and Ctrl is no longer a "Menu" key (or called "option" key), but the "Print Screen" key (labeld "PrtSc). It was convenient to set "Menu" key as the host key, saving the precious "Alt" and "Ctrl" for normal use within guest system.

Now this becomes a luxury feature in the this generation of ThinkPad's. I have to sacrifice the right "Alt" key as Host key.

In the VirtualBox preference dialog, pressing "PrtSc" at the Host key setup page (sub-category: Input) has no effect.

Would a host key combination work for you?
