by default, Sculpt is configured such that all key combinations
involving the 'SCREEN' key to the window layouter. In
config/input_filter, 'LEFTMETA' (windows key) is mapped to 'SCREEN' by
default. In contrast to your observation, it is not disabled. Do you
happen to use a stale input_filter configuration?

Does [LEFTMETA]+[TAB] works for cycling through multiple windows? If
yes, then the input filter and window layouter are configured correctly.
This should be the case by default.

The VM's response to maximize events (as triggered by [LEFTMETA]+[ENTER]
or by the maximize button at the top-left window corner) is a bit of a
hit-or-miss, unfortunately. The screen-size change is handled the VBox
guest additions. So it does only work when those are installed and
running. Even if so, it sometimes takes quite a long time for the screen
change to take effect. The delay needs further investigation. But apart
from this, it should work in principle.

Cheers
Norman
