This is a regular expression question.



I use AutoKey on Debian to execute custom commands with hotkeys, such as Super-E to toggle Nautilus.



But sometimes I run a VM in VirtualBox and AutoKey is toggling my host Nautilus while in the VM guest (hijacking it) which I don't want.



AutoKey has a 'Window Filter' in each script's settings where you can, with a regular expression, restrict what window class or title to enable the script with.



What I need then is a regex to express 'any window class except VirtualBox'.



AutoKey is python-based, so that may be its type of regex to use.



What regular expression will work in AutoKey to disable a script on just one window class?



(There is some discussion here with regex examples that demonstrably don't work.)
