Mouse pointer hidden in Virtualbox ?

[kdeuser]

Hello,

I still feel like a newbie at this (still) and i apologize in advance for (what must seem to most) as very simple but is driving me nuts .

Forced to use a windows app , so installed Virtualbox Windows as a guest os.

Everything fine until i needed to use VB this morning and find that the mouse has gone or invisible.

You can see it kind of floating over the menus .

The VB tells me to hit ctrl plus right. What exactly does that mean ?

I use a multimedia keyboard with trackball and integrated mouse (wireless).

The ctrl key is on the left not right , what do i do , don`t have other keyboards ?

I was just about to reinstall again but thought i`d write this.

Help please and thanks.

The VB tells me to hit ctrl plus right. What exactly does that mean ?

It means hold ctrl down, and press right arrow. Any ctrl key will do, right, left, or a even a cured caps lock¹ like I use. Normally ctrl+right moves a word to the right in text.

¹There's been web sites devoted to the hatred of the caps lock key. KDE lets you make it another ctrl key.
