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

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

This is what I do as well. Also, I think it was Chris Moore who pointed me at the command control f to go full screen which is working. Big thanks to everyone for the suggestions. > On Nov 18, 2016, at 3:50 AM, Garry Turkington wrote: > > I use Fusion with multiple VMs

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

Very good. For a goof I just tried parallels with their trial option. Talk about less than useless. Completely and utterly inaccessible. I was hopeful that over all this time things had improved but no such luck. > On Nov 17, 2016, at 5:07 PM, E.T. wrote: > >

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

Scott, Ok here is what I think would be worth studying. I was just in my VM and my frustration level is still a bit high so will not run it again for now. Seems Command-G was on the menu when I first started using VMware. Its no longer there yet it seems to still work. I want to play

It does and I’ll do some googling on the command g feature, maybe I can shed some light on this by playing with it more myself. Thanks as always ET. And good comments from Janina this might be worth some communication with VMWare once I’m more confident it’s not the user behind my keyboard

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
