The problem is that those two keys are in the opposite positions of the keys on a Windows keyboard. IOW, from left-to-right on a Windows keyboard is Control/Windows/Alt/Spacebar, while left-to-right on a Mac keyboard is Control/Option/Command/Spacebar. Thus, for a touch typist, the mapping should be Control to Control, Windows to Option, and Alt to Command. The current mapping forces us to learn a completely set of keystrokes on the VM than we're used to on a Windows keyboard (which we have to use anytime we're no on the VM). Please consider providing a configuration setting that would allow the mapping of these two keys to be swapped, that is, for the Mac ""Option"" key to be mapped to Windows, and the Mac ""Command"" key to be mapped to Alt. Thank you.",enhancement,new,guest additions,VirtualBox 3.1.2,,keyboard mapping,,Windows,Mac OS X
