Hi,

i like Dosbox-X very much, what i like is playing around with old dosware but also with windowsware and other systems like geos, i like that it emulates that much better then virtualbox wich is working horrible with everything older then w2k. What i dont like is the behavior in windows (under linux it works fine somehow) not all possible key-combinations are captured and relayed to the vm, i know you cant do ctrl+alt+delete but thinks like alt+tab dont work to (even with caputred mouse or in fullscreen mode) which seams to be no problem for virtualbox and other virtualisation tools...

What you want

have a look on how they do it and implement it also for dosbox-X so i can freely alt+tab through my win3.x and 9x windows with ease as i like it. You could just bind keypoad caputer to mouse capture like vbox dose it so i can escape with crtl+10 ;)

Describe alternatives you've considered

I have similar experience... (AltGr+N - doesn't show character from DOS keyboard layout, because on the host windows there's a Ctrl+Alt+N keyboard shortcut to launch an application?) I was looking for a slightly different solution: #3636, but your request is also interesting!
