Clearly you checked the checkbox to prevent showing the warning dialogue some time ago, and are now being caught out by your own choice. (I personally prefer ⯉ Application Menu.) Making Host+ R prompt before enacting the virtual reset button is done with "Reset all warnings" on the same menu. In VirtualBox itself, Host+ R resets the virtual machine, as if one had pressed a reset button on a physical machine.Ĭhanging what key is the Host key is done from the preferences dialogue of the VirtualBox Manager under its "File" menu. ⎈ Right Control on most host operating systems or ⌘ Super on Mac OS are, by default, the Host Key in VirtualBox. This is nothing to do with SparcStations or Solaris or the guest operating system at all and everything to do with VirtualBox itself. Specifically in the latter case you are hitting ⎈ Right Control+ R rather than ⎈ Left Control+ R. Unless you have changed the default, either you are hitting ⌘ Super+ R which is the modifier key next door or you really are hitting ⎈ Control+ R. I accidentally hit something else, I think Win+ R. The VirtualBox Host-H brings up a suspend/shutdown/cancel dialog box. The effect is an orderly reboot, completely different from the VirtualBox Host-R reset which uses the left control key and produces an instant, abrupt reset.
(Could it be that this dialog takes the additional keystrokes that were intended for the Ctrl-R search and interprets them as a reboot command? However, don't remember seeing the dialog at all, not even a flash of it, at the time when these accidental reboots get triggered.) LeftWin-R brings up a program launching dialog box. I'm trying various key combinations to reproduce it on purpose, but none are perpetuating the reset. It always happens by accident when I'm using only my left hand, trying to type LeftCtrl-R. Note: I'm not able to reproduce the behavior at will. What are the steps to disable this feature entirely or else remap it to something that isn't accidentally invoked?
This looks like the same thing as that Stop-A on SparcStations.
I run Solaris 10 x86 in a VirtualBox for the purposes of maintaining a port of a freeware program.įrom time to time when I want to search backwards and recall a Bash command with Ctrl-R, I accidentally hit something else, I think Win-R.
