I thought "Rosetta" was supposed provide x86 emulation to bridge the gap between x86 apps and Apple Silicon but apparently not.
Make sure that user has always a NATURAL way to access to the menu once in the guest.So tired of being "upgraded" out of a functioning machine.Īpple won't provide OS upgrades for our older x86 iMacs (which still run great) and the replacement iMacs won't run several key applications for development like VirtualBox and Vagrant. verify Host+C works if you are confident with Host+Home. verify Host key works fine after installation of the guest. NEVER use Fullscreen for the guest in order not to loose the menu. NEVER activate Scaled in order not to loose the menu. NEVER lose access to the top guest menu. Host+F worked to leave Full screen mode (this is a trap too: no menu too). Host+C (exit Scaled) does not work although set as key shortcut. then I could use (but not clearly stable) : Host+Home to make the menu appear and to disable the Scaled Mode via the menu. then I could set Right-Ctrl back as Host key. why right ctrl cannot be set as origin ? => the answer is : uncheck the function at Gnome/Compiz/Cinnamon that emphasizes the position of the mouse cursor pointer on pressing Ctrl. So I progressed in my struggle like this : Above all the difficulties, I could not set Right-Ctrl as Host again !! Anyway it does not work in guest even thought. it was indeed impossible, only some keys could be set as Host key. I tried to change the Host key in Vbox Manager's preference: 
But no success (I restarted the guest each time, even once the VBox manager too)
Impact #2bis: idem for Host+C to toggle back to no Scale mode (this does not work in my case). Impact #2: forums point out you can always do it via keys Host+Home to make the menu appear (this does not work in my case, host has always been strange in behaviour). Impact #1: no way to make the top menu appear again (so: no way to deactivate Scale mode). 
I unfortunately activated Scaled view mode in the guest: the menu disappears from the UI surrounding the guest's window. There several issues melt into my current one that made me sweat for a while.
