#15064 closed defect (wontfix)

Can't use F1 to F12 keys as Host Key Combination anymore

Reported by: Floyd21_fr Owned by:
Component: GUI Version: VirtualBox 5.0.14
Keywords: Host Key F1 F12 Cc:
Guest type: Linux Host type: Linux

Description

Host: Ubuntu 14.04 64 bits Keyboard type: French azerty

After upgrading from 5.0.4 to 5.0.14 I can't use the F1 to F12 as Host Key Combination.

I had F1+F2 before upgrading and it worked fine. Now with 5.0.14 the Host Key has no effect and when I want to set a new one in the "Input->Virtual Machine" parameters, I can't set any of the Functions keys (F1 to F12)....

The Fx keys were never supposed to work as host keys. If this did work for you then it was an accident. You can you any of the Shitf / Ctrl / Alt / Win keys or combinations of it.

OK, never knew that. Maybe, this can be added into the Vbox manual so that others won't ask?
