    I have F5 and F6 working in host and guest so that in each case when I press (say) the F5 key, the focused application gets an F5 keypress.

    No luck with F1-F4 or F7-F12 though, presumably because these are mapped to special functions.

    I've ticked the "Use all F1, F2 etc as function keys" option in the Host OS System Preferences, but there is no such option in the Guest OS System Preferences for either the Virtual Keyboard or plain 'Keyboard'.

    How can I pass function key presses through to the guest OS when focussed?
