Subject: [VBox-users] key combinations in CLI
I have configured a VM to boot an ISO image file, which loads a Linux OS with
a rudimentary menu or a GUI desktop environment. When I enter the menu, it also
allows me to escape from it to a command line interface. Upon doing so it has
an instruction about how to enter one of several consoles. The instruction says
that I can use a keyboard combination of Alt+Ctrl+F1, for example, to enter the
first of these consoles. I should note that this VM does not allow for mouse
integration and requires that I capture the mouse or keyboard manually. Having
said that, it is not clear to me what keystroke combination should be used to
get into the consoles. I tried the Alt+Ctrl+F1 by itself as well as after
tapping the Host key, and I tried a few different other combinations but
without success. Nothing seems to cause the console to appear. Any ideas on
what I am missing here?

The pen is mightier than the sword, but only if you get in the first stroke.
