<body>
<p>Use the <uicontrol>Preferences</uicontrol> to change settings that apply to all virtual machines.</p>

<p>Settings will differ, depending on your host OS.</p>
</note>
<ol>
<li>
<p>From the <uicontrol>File</uicontrol> menu, choose <uicontrol>Preferences</uicontrol>.</p>

<li>
<p>On the <uicontrol>Input</uicontrol> tab, set keyboard shortcuts, both in <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-mgr"/> and in individual VMs. For example you might want to specify a different <b outputclass="bold">Host key</b>. This is the key that toggles whether the cursor is in the focus of the VM or the Host OS windows, see <xref href="keyb_mouse_normal.dita#keyb_mouse_normal"/>. The Host key is also used to trigger certain VM actions, see <xref href="specialcharacters.dita#specialcharacters"/>.</p>
