Don, the default host key is the right control key. You can change it by opening the global settings menu, then go to "input", then press the TAB key once which will select the current host key. To change the host key, press it right now. This could also be a combination of two keys (this feature was introduced with VBox version 4.0.6). For instance, if you want to change the host key to Shift plus Control, press the Shift key, hold it, press the Control key, wait 2 seconds, release the control key, release the Shift key, then hit the Enter key to confirm the new setting.
