I noticed this as well. It looks like an interesting product and the installation is very accessible but it all goes sideways once you run the application for the first time. To bad bu I like fusion well enough so at least we have a very good option there and virtual box will be the next thing

So command G is not mentioned anywhere in the preferences list either under the application shortcuts or fusion shortcuts, I looked through all 4 sections. There is the command control to release but no command G in my fusion 8.5. > On Nov 19, 2016, at 2:55 AM, Simon Fogarty wrote: > > Yes it

Scott, After reading Garry's post. I decided to run into the Fusion keyboard preferences. I looked at the mappings under a couple of the tabs. Command-G is a valid command to grab keyboard and mouse from the Mac. Command-control will ungrab and return control to the Mac. From E.T.'s Keyboa

I use Fusion with multiple VMs every day and I don't have an issue reliably getting input captured by the VM. What I do is use VO to move right along the buttons on the VM interface. After the "full screen" button I get the name of the VM read out and when focus is on that any keystrokes go to the

Scott, I do not remember what version of Fusion I started with. I do not think the force grab function was brought over to version 8. It used to be on the Virtual Machine menu. I looked at version 8 release notes and found nothing. If we can find out what replaces the force grab, we mig

ScottI don’t know about control + g. What sometimes helps is to switch to full screen mode with cmd + control + f. Then turn it off with the same keystroke. I also tend to disable voiceover once I am safely in the VM with cmd + control followed by cmd + f5. HTH Chris > On Nov 17, 2016, at 1:
