Hello Phil, Thanks for the reminder about full-screen mode. Isn't pressing Control+Command together to move the focus out of Windows and back into VMWare Fusion equivalent to toggling out of full-screen mode? Is it possible to be in VMWare and still be full-screen? How do people make sure

I don't use full screen mode. I simply press control-g to focus on Windows and when I use a Mac shortcut it goes to Mac, but you can change all the settings related to this. The only downfall with my setup is I can't use alt and control at the same time with Voice Over on. There are so many

2013-12-30 Thread Darrell Shandrow
Hello Everyone, Has anyone out here experienced a problem in VMWare Fusion 6 where the menu bar can't be accessed using the VO+M command? Instead, VoiceOver says menu closed and there is no way to access the Virtual Machine menu to do important troubleshooting things like restart or shut down

Hi Darrell, have you tried CTRL F2? This Command is actually not a voiceover command as such but more of a universal global command for the OS. I actually now prefer using this command rather than the Voiceover one now. Give it a go and I hope it works. As a side note, if ever your wanting to

Hello Daniel, Unfortunately, we have already tried Control+F2. When she presses that keystroke in VMWare Fusion, nothing happens. Does anyone know if there's another way to pull down VMWare's menus, or is there a way to restart / shutdown the Windows Session that does not require accessing the

Hi, Does she have Fusion in her menubar? If so, she could command-tab out of it and close Windows from there. If not, she could simply close Fusion with command-q, and re-open it when needed. I would guess that doing command-w from the Windows desktop would work too. Is she in Unity or full

I wouldn't quit vmware fusion without shutting down Windows first. I haven't used version 6 yet nbut I found in 5 that if I got that menu behavior and did it again (vo-m) it usually opened. But you usually should be able to shut down Windows by the normal procedure within Windows itself and

I don't suppose you're in full-screen mode are you? the menu isn't available in full screen. Try pressing command control F. That's a toggle that'll kick you in or out of full-screen mode. On Dec 30, 2013, at 2:01 PM, Cheryl Homiak cahom...@gmail.com wrote: I wouldn't quit vmware fusion
