Virtual machines do not detect keyboard short cuts

Hey,

In my virtual machine whenever I use keyboard short cuts for instance
ctrl+alt+t to open terminal, it executes on host and not on my VM. How do I
enable hot keys in cloudstack VM?

Regards

Hi Swastik,

You can’t to my knowledge – the VNC session to your VM is brokered over your HTTP session – so what you are asking for is a method for your keyboard shortcuts to be intercepted by your browser rather than your OS. 

Keep in mind the use case for the CPVM terminal window is just for configuration and troubleshooting – if you want to do more advanced stuff the expectation is you set up something like RDP access to Windows or a forwarded X-session for a linux VM.
