Virtual Box and Alt/Tab Keys

I use virtual box for all my testing activities. It comes too often that I have a virtual box VM window open & I want to switch to my host machine to see some stuff like tutorials etc.. If you press the alt+tab combination it just works inside the VM & doesn't switches to host machine. In these scenarios you can press the host key once ( not hold it ) & then whatever you press goes to host machine. So in general where host key is the default Right Ctrl, just press Right Ctrl once & now press the alt+tab & it will switch you out to host machine. This is really helpful when you have the VM windows open or you're working on seamless mode. Hope it help others too.
