As others already pointed out, "Ctrl-Alt" is the way to get out of the
cage.
Mostly I don't use the VM-Window: I had some trouble with gpm and don't
know how to enable clipboard-sharing in QEMU, so I just use SSH:
My GuixSD-QEMU-Configuration has something like:
(services (cons*
... other services here ...
(dhcp-client-service)
(lsh-service #:port-number 3333)
%base-services))
Then in my host system I have an entry in my ~/.ssh/config:
Host g64
HostName localhost
Port 3333
User bjoern
When I now call "ssh g64" and enter my password, I'm connected to my
virtual machine and can use the normal mouse and copy/paste of my host
system as I would use with other remote machines.
You can also upload your SSH-Key in your virtual machine to avoid
password entering.
And probably when I would setup a new VM, I would use OpenSSH
(https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html#index-openssh_002dservice_002dtype),
but when I started with my setup, there was only LSH.
