Exactly. I can't go away from windows because I need windows to troubleshoot our users' issues. But I have two monitors at work, one for windows (full screen hangout window), and one fullscreen Archlinux VM. Needless to say I spend 90% of my time on the VM screen (powered by ratpoison + a lot of personnal notifications scripts/status bar and shit for everything. I mostly have only two windows: tmux + dwb.

What keybinds do you use to focus in your linux vm? I am in a similar situation at work currently(linux vm windows host) and my setup has vi-like keybinds, and if I press super + L I lock the computer - know of anyway to keep focus inside the vm maybe?(it's vmware player unsure if virtbox would have the same problem)

The other day at work I was editing a c# project in terminal vim on linux with autocompletion/function lookup via YouCompleteMe and Omnisharp, and building with mono's xbuild. It felt so dirty, and so delicious.
