How do you move between programs inside of a Virtual Box?

Hiya,

Just to be clear: not Guest to Host, but Host to Host. Meaning, If I'm using program "A" and need to switch to program "B" inside the confines of a Virtual Box, how do you do that? (Both programs are already up and running.)

I've tried the ALT-Tab key combination. It had no effect on manipulating the Linux programs inside of the VB. Works for Windows though...

Thanks.

inside the confines of a Virtual Box = guest

I do not have vb installed, have not used it in so long I for get , but I just used the mouse to move between apps.

What do mean by host to host within VirtualBox.

If I understand the question task switching depends on the desktop

What distribution/Verison are you running?

I think the OP is saying that maybe he has two full screen programs running on some client. When he attempts to switch programs using a key combination the host takes shortcut instead of the client. https://askubuntu.com/questions/2202...-while-in-vbox Should still work.
