In Virtualbox, go to File / Preferences / Input.
See what your Host key is.

If your host key is "Ctrl" and you're trying to send "Ctrl-Alt-F1" to the 
guest, then as soon as you hit Ctrl, guess what happens.  You're sending 
Ctrl-Alt-F1 to your host, not the guest.

Notice, in VirtualBox, what they call "Ctrl" and "Alt" are actually "Left Ctrl" 
and "Left Alt."  They make a distinction between "Right Ctrl" and "Right Alt," 
but I don't know why they're not more explicit in naming the left key "Left."

So if you don't want to change your Host key, you might consider using the 
Right Ctrl, Right Alt, F1 to send your signal to the guest.
