ALT+TAB pressed in Guest is always being send to Host aswell - despite cursor captured by guest. No way to change this behaviour. "Keyboard requires Capture" not working as explained in manual.

What happened?
I have the following Situation:
Host: Windows 10
Guest: Windows 98
I want to switch between programs in my Guest using ALT+TAB key-combination.
Whenever I press ALT+TAB it does however also switch tasks simultaneously on the HOST OS.
There is obviously no way to change this behaviour.
The 86box manual mentions the "Keyboard requires capture"-option, this however seems to only affect the Guest OS when the Guest is not focus / mouse captured.
It is however not affecting the Host when pressing ALT+TAB inside the Guest.
Whatever option is selected - it is sending the ALT+TAB combination to the Host regardless, always opening the task switcher on both OS at the same time.
This is also happening in Guest-Fullscreen, with all Renderers (Qt, GL, Vulkan).
We need a way to block ALT+TAB key combination for the HOST when it is press in a CAPTURED GuestOS.

NOTABUG. Such system key combinations can not be blocked. Enable the "Right Ctrl is left Alt" option and use Right Ctrl + Tab to sent Alt + Tab to the guest.

if that is the best workaround, then please consider letting us choose custom key-bindings. Alt-Tab is a one-hander of the left hand, whereas RightCtrl-Tab is a two-hander particulary when you are using a mouse in the guest. The un-capture keycombination F8-F12 is also making trouble with various software I have tried to run in 86box so far.
