host key and Virtual Box (how to Alt-Tab out of virtual box)

From the host OS, if you Alt-tab into the virtual box it will work as usual. But if you do Alt-tab inside virtual box, switching will happen between the windows opened inside that. This is because the keyboard is controlled by the virtual machine now. Just pressing the host key without hold returns control back to the host OS. All the key presses after that will go to the host itself. So, if you want switch out of virtual press host key once and then Alt-Tab. Check this link. for more information.
