That makes more sense ;-) > Obviously, if you do this, you no longer can, for example, use the > windows key for guest start menu or Alt+Tab to switch windows on guest > VM; you can't have it all. Well, that option has been always available in VB, I thought it was not working for you within GNOME3/gnome-shell. Besides, you can choose a "master key" to gain the control over the virtual machine guest or over the host, this is a documented feature: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html#idp7665552 There should be no need to completely disable this, just configuring the master key which allows you to alternate between host/guest to avoid overlapping so you can give the focus to the proper application (gnome- shell or vm) and then run the desired keycombo to change the workspace.
