Copying keyboard and mouse actions on virtual machines
Is there a way of running several virtual machines and duplicating your mouse/keyboard movement onto every single of of them? So if I was on Google and clicked the search bar, all of my virtual machines would click the search bar at the same time; and then when I type something, they would all type.
I hope that makes sense. I have no idea if you are able to do it.

Are you asking specifically about VirtualBox? (You know that there are other hypervisors, right?) If you asking specifically about VirtualBox, you should say so in the body of the question. If not, delete the tag.
