Support more keystroke combinations to be sent to the guest
At the moment, only a few keystroke combinations can be sent to the guest (ctrl + alt + delete/f1-f3/f7
). This means that only tty1-tty3, and tty7 are accessible. As an example of why this may be a problem, the Void Linux installer outputs error logs to tty8, meaning it is unreadable in a Boxes virtual machine. Implementing the ability to send ctrl + alt + [any of the function keys]
to a guest operating system would rectify this and possibly other similar issues.
