anyone noticedthat alt+f4 no longer works with fusion 3 and sl. If I try it twice, it brings up sound preferences in system preferences when all I wanted to do was close my windows app.
Had a look at settings in vmware but couldn't find anything. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Søren Jensen" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 17, 2009 2:41 PM Subject: Re: vmware and key combinations Hi Paul. When you are in a virtual machine in Fusion, the option key is your alt key, and the command key is your windows key. So therefore, you just have to press option tab to make a alt tab in your virtual windows, and command tab to switch over to your Mac applications. Awesome, isn't it? Regarding the applications key, you can use a little freeware program called Sharp keys to remap a key to the applications key, and you can also remap a insert key. I have remapped my right option key to the insert key, and my right command key to the applications key. I highly recommend you to switch to full screen when running a virtual machine. You can do that by pressing control command return or you can choose it from the toolbar. Voiceover doesn't need to be turned off when running a virtual machine. I have used both Fusion and other applications on my mac at the same time.
