Various Questions About Boxes

[Gerald Nunn <gerald b nunn gmail com>]

I've switched to gnome-boxes from virtualbox in order to learn more about qemu/kvm and have some specific questions about Boxes as follows. Note I'm using boxes on Arch with gnome 3.12

a. When I imported my Windows VM from VirtualBox, it saved the image as "boxes-unknown", is there a way to change the name to something more obvious?

b. Not strictly a boxes question but is there any way to get qemu to not capture specific keys? I'd like the keys to change gnome workspaces to always go to the host to make it easy to switch between guest and host. If no, how do most people handle easily switching between host and guest?

c. Is there a way to launch a specific VM directly using Boxes, for example if I want to create a launcher to directly start my Windows VM. I know I could run it through qemu directly but would prefer to stay in the boxes interface.

d. Is there a way to get boxes to launch VMs in a window instead of full-screen? If I can't figure out how to resolve point B this might have to be my fullback or switch back to VirtualBox.

And lastly I'm really enjoying Boxes so far, great work by the team and look forward to seeing what improvements come in 3.14.
