Escape from VirtualBox Full Screen

Using Virtual Box on laptop in full screen (Host+F) with external Sun4 USB keyboard. I wanted to map the Host key, right control key (Control_R) on laptop to that of the Right Meta (Meta_R) key on USB keyboard as the former isn’t available on Sun4 keyboard.

$ cat vboxhost
            remove mod4 = Meta_R
            keysym Meta_R = Control_R
$ xmodmap -verbose vboxhost
! vboxhost:
! 1:  remove mod4 = Meta_R
! Keysym Meta_R (0xffe8) corresponds to keycode(s) 0x74
        remove mod4 =  0x74
! 2:  keysym Meta_R = Control_R
! Keysym Meta_R (0xffe8) corresponds to keycode(s) 0x74
        keycode 0x74 = Control_R
!
! executing work queue
!
        remove mod4 =  0x74
        keycode 0x74 = Control_R
