I guess there&#39;s no way to workaround apps like VirtualBox because in install drivers that prevents completaly the host to grab its keys.<br>Unless, of course, when it&#39;s configured to do so, like ctrl+alt+del and ctrl+alt+backspace.<br>

But you can configure vb hotkey near or the same as your xmonad mod key, so you can easily press them.<br><br>Regards,<br clear="all">Henrique G. Abreu<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Is there a way to make XMonad grab keyboard input globally, so that other applications that also hook the keyboard globally (like VirtualBox) can&#39;t steal Xmonad&#39;s hot keys?<br>
