Fusion and switching between operating systems

2011-06-22 Thread Jeff Bishop
Hello Everyone, As I will be attempting this to replace my Windows machine (putting Windows on my Mac) I wanted to start a thread about Fusion and keyboard issues. One of the issues I have seen from users is an issue of keyboard focus being maintained or switching between operating systems.

Here is the way I solve this. Once in the virtual machine, turn off voice over and press command control enter, this puts the virtual machine in full screen mode. Your keyboard focus will remain in the virtual machine. If you need to do something on the mac, press command control enter again and

Hi Mike and All, Am I the only one who doesn't experience issues of this sort? I have only needed to turn VO off when dealing with my Linux VM, which doesn't have the VmWare tools installed. My WIndows VM, by contrast, does, and I have never ran into issues of focus when using it. The most I'

Jeff, Are you switching to full-screen mode when you are focussed on VMWare? You should generally need to do this once when you first start your VM. On Jun 23, 2011, at 7:44 PM, joseph wrote: > hi > > i tried your method but i still had to quit voice over to get to the virtual > machine. am i

Dear Jeff, Could you perhaps explain a little more clearly exactly what the issue you're experiencing is? I've been running FUsion for months and whenever I switch between the FUsion window and the Mac OS, I expect focus to switch, and it does. In short, FUsion works the way I expect. Is there
