Virtual Box - Windows key flipped with LCTRL on VirtualBox

0

Please help. My Windows VM on Linux host (VirtualBox) has the "LCTRL" and "Windows special key" flipped, so that all apps like VS and IntelliJ IDEA treat the Windows special key as CTRL.

Even when copying, I have to use "Windows+C" and "Windows+V", which is hightly problematic. With SharpKeys, I tried to flip it back, but that doesnt do anything. The only solution using SharpKeys is to disable the Windows button and add LCTRL as Windows (which is treated as LCTRL by the VM).

So is VirtualBox treating my keyboard layout as a MAC keyboard?

I just installed VirtualBox guest additions, and the problem subsided.
