Ctrl-_ not working

Hi, I have an issue with Ctrl-_ not working in arch. It's neither doing the undo command in emacs nor doing undo under bash. Is there something I should look for or should I report this as a bug?

I'm using a clean install, no-latin1 keymap and running arch under virtualbox.

Re: Ctrl-_ not working

since its in virtualbox --- which Ctrl are you using? Left or Right?

virtualbox, by default uses the right Ctrl key as the host key which is automatically captured. So maybe your keybinding is conflicting

Yes, I had the same problem when trying with VMware player. I couldn't switch tty because it involved ctrl+alt which vmware uses.
I don't have any experience with virtualbox, but rebinding the keys it uses to something else should solve your problem.
