7 <p>To disable all Host key combinations, open the preferences and change the Host key to None. This might be useful
8 when using <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> in a kiosk mode. </p>
9 <p>
10 To redefine or disable certain Host key actions, use the
11 following command:
12 </p>
13 <pre xml:space="preserve">$ VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/Input/MachineShortcuts "FullscreenMode=F,...."</pre>
14 <p>The following table shows the possible Host key actions, together with their default Host key shortcut. Setting
15 an action to None will disable that Host key action. </p>
