Similar to #5681 , I wish packer would recognize the Super/Windows key when building VirtualBox VM's.
I think the Left Super scancode is 133, and Right Super scancode is 134, based on StackExchange. The Arch wiki also details how to verify scancode tables with xev, from a working X11 environment.
As the Super scancode is not listed among the Linux keyboard scancodes documentation referenced by the VirtualBox builder source code, I can't guarantee that this scancode would also work for the Super AKA Windows key for Windows guests. Worth experimenting to find out.
I would bet, however, that these scancodes probably do NOT match for macOS guests, as macOS uses a completely different scancode table than Linux/PC/IBM scancodes. #5635 addresses that. In any case, it would be fantastic if packer could finally submit the all important Super key for VirtualBox builds, even if only for Linux and/or Windows guests!
