Re: Fusion; OS X Grabbing Keyboard Control
Hi David No, that wasn’t my problem and it took me a long time to nail this issue. However, here we go. My start disk had partition errors. I realised that when I used some system tools to check the drive. So, I did a total backup. Then I switched to that backup as my start disk, formatted my internal drive again with a new partition, and then just restored from the working backup. Now, Fusion and a lot of other apps work much better than before. Just shows what can happen with hidden errors like that.

Re: Fusion; OS X Grabbing Keyboard Control
I always just press control+command+F to switch screen modes. then I hit the tab key a few times if necessary and that gets focus back to the VM. Actually, I think that control+command is actually a command to grab/rrelease focus, and that’s why it works - don’t really know - it just works.

Re: Fusion; OS X Grabbing Keyboard Control
Make certain quick nav is off when you switch to the fusion window. I prefer to leave VO on while using Fusion. I also do not find it necessary to use full screen mode. I enjoy having use of Mac OS and Windows simultaneously without disabling either screen reader.
