i have installed qemu in arch linux, and created a vm.
still figuring things out, one thing i haven't figured out is after maximizing a vm how do you make it smaller.
i'm actually using arcolinux with openbox.
the two arrows upper right corner is how i'm maximizing the vm.
i would assume there is a keyboard short cut to return it to the original size.
supperkey+tab brings up a desktop switcher.
other than that no keybord short cuts seem to work.
Depends on which software you are using to view your vm. If you are using virt-manager, move the mouse pointer to the top center of the screen and hold it there (it takes half a second) until you see a rectangular black and off-white icon appear. Click the left side of the icon, which is two black arrows pointing at each other. If you simply mouse over the left side, a small textbox that says "Leave fullscreen" should appear—that should make it clear that you've found the right icon.
