8 To disable all Host key combinations, open the preferences and
9 change the Host key to None. This might be useful when using
10 Oracle VM VirtualBox in a kiosk mode.
11 </p>
12 <p>
13 To redefine or disable certain Host key actions, use the
14 following command:
15 </p>
16 <pre xml:space="preserve">$ VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/Input/MachineShortcuts "FullscreenMode=F,...."</pre>
17 <p>
18 The following table shows the possible Host key actions,
19 together with their default Host key shortcut. Setting an action
20 to None will disable that Host key action.
