Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM): Switching from KVM guest to host (e.g. Linux Mint) & maximize guest screen


Hi:

Guest to Host control switching:
I have KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) running CentOs7.

While in KVM running a guest VM,
I like to switch control back to host (Linux Mint or whatever).
In VirtualBox, you press right-Ctrl, then Alt+Tab to display host's apps list in GUI. This does not work in KVM.

For KVM, while inside a guest VM, I tried left-side Ctrl+Alt then Alt+Tab. No luck

Where can I find hotkey information on KVM?

Screen size:
I tried virt-manager's menu "view>scale to display", it does not
widen to fill the left and right sides of my display's edges.
How do I do that?





Thank you.

Need a clarification: When you use the term "KVM", are you referring to a Keyboard-Video-Mouse hardware switch (to switch between two or more computers with one set of Keyboard, Video, and Mouse), or something else? Thanks.
