| A conflict exist when you try to print screen inside a VirtualBox container, as the screenshot | |
| will be captured by the VirtualBox host. Ideally, to avoid this you'll want to set the host's keyboard | |
| shortcuts, the VirtualBox's host machine prefrences, and the VirtualBox keyboard shortcuts to a combination | |
| that does not conflict and works for your workflow. | |
| Personally, on the VirtualBox host, I am not interested in taking screenshots (as nearly exclusively inside | |
| containers). Therefore, I will remove all screenshot shortcuts from the VirtualBox host. On CentOs 7 and | |
| Ubuntu 18 this is under located Keyboard > Screenshot. | |
| Next, under VirtualBox Preferences > Input > Virtual Machine I will set the Host Key Combination to a key | |
| that I rarely use, such as [Right Alt]. | |
| Afterwards, I am able to use the default keyboard shortcuts for screenshots within the Virtualbox container. |
