Re: [xmonad] Virtual Box won't release keyboard or mouse when used in xmonad

I frequently have issues with VMWare not releasing the keyboard after xscreensaver has tried to lock the screen (and failed) while VM owns the keyboard. When released, I can't leave the VM window. The workaround is to use any dropdown menu on the VM window (ie: help/about), so that you have to click something. After that it works normally. Good luck.

Switched the host key to f12. All works good now. Does xmonad do something special with right ctrl?

Not unless you tell it to. Maybe you should check with xev whether hitting right control sends the keypress you think it should be pressing.
