Could you please tell me what command you want me to run for libinput ?
libinput record
might be in some extra package and not in the normal libinput one. the
docs are here
https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/tools.html#libinput-record-and-libinput-replay
Cheers,

I went through
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Libinput
but I couldn't find anything for listing messages from the keyboard or
from any input device for that matter.
I also had a quick glance of your blog:
https://who-t.blogspot.com/
but again couldn't find what you are specifically asking me to do.
Could you be a little bit more specific for a beginner ?

FTR, next time you see similar issues run libinput record against the
keyboard device node and that will tell you whether the weirdness
comes from
the device itself (which would include virtual box in this case) or
whether
it's on a higher level in the stack.
libinput record prints the events coming out of the kernel, so it
can nicely
separate where an issue occurs. The output takes a little bit of getting
used to, but interpreting keyboard events is trivial enough.
Cheers,
Peter
