how to change virtualbox keyboard shortcut

Question

In virtualbox ctrl-r is the shortcut to reset the virtual machine. But I use it for testing web-sites on IE, and I seem to be hard-wired to use ctrl-r to refresh web-pages in a browser. I keep accidentally resetting virtualbox and having to wait while it books again!! So is there some way to change the keyboard shortcuts in virtualbox?

Answer 1

Change the 'host key':

file -> preferences -> input

Change the Host Key to something other than ctrl.

~~edit~~

NOTE: the host key can be something like 'Right Ctrl'. The left control key acts normally, and the right key is used as the host key.
