¶ Using the Virtual Machine Remote Console
The remote console provides direct interaction (mouse/keyboard) with Virtual Machines.
¶ Console Toolbar
All toolbar options, except the Exit button, work as a toggle, switching between on/open or off/closed. For example: clicking the chat button opens the chat window, and clicking the button again closes the chat window. A button is orange when on/open; white when off/closed.
¶ 
Exit
Exits the console and returns to the previous screen.
¶ 
Expand console
Activates/deactivates the console's full-screen option (expand to entire browser tab)
¶ 
Virtual Keyboard
Provides a virtual keyboard on devices that do not have a physical keyboard (cellphones, tables, etc.)
¶ 
Drag view port
Alows moving the viewable portion of the console when the guest system screen exceeds the viewable area.

Clipboard

- The Close button will close the Clipboard window (can also be closed by clicking the Clipboard button again).
- The Clear button clears current contents from the Clipboard.

Wait until all contents have successfully pasted into the console before performing any other cipboard operations, typing, or moving cursor within the VM.
¶ 
Power
Opens/closes the power buttons window:
- [Reset] - restarts the VM Operating system; does not power down the virtual hardware.
- [ACPI] - Power down (graceful)
- [Kill] - Power down (ungraceful) - use as a last resort when guest OS is locked and graceful shutdown is not an option.

- [Ctrl-Alt-Del]
- [Ctrl]*
