I was stuck in full screen in virtual box Mint for quite a while was there a shortcut to get out on it? I used terminal but what would have been the keyboard way? There was no file etc up top of screen, as I hovered the mouse every where and used f1-f12 esc shift alt combo's nothing got me out.

Pressing the host key + F will switch out of full screen mode in Virtual Box. By default the host key is Right Ctrl... as in the Ctrl key to the right of the space bar.

What searches did you do before opening this thread? Did you attempt to read any VirtualBox documentation?

Putting "virtualbox leave fullscreen" into a search engine returns LOTS of results, so if your search terms didn't find those results you need to state what you used so the terms will get indexed and benefit others in the future.
