Description
I'd like the guest OS to be able to see that Ctrl+Alt are down even though those keys are mapped as the Host Key combination.
Other virtualization software allows the key combination to be seen by the guest by not acting upon said combination until all keys in the combination return up, with no additional keys or mouse clicks preformed between the down/up events of those keys.
The reason for this request is spending an hour tracking down why Ctrl+Alt+Left-Click didn't perform the action I had mapped in Visual Studio. If the above request is not feasible, please consider providing some type of feedback to the user that something special is going on when pressing the Host Key, such as flashing the window or, if the status bar is visible, make the background for the Host Key combination flash a different color a couple times.
