Okay, Here’s the thing about thinking I might need Bootcamp installed on my Mac: Some months ago, I was trying to get help to switch from Windows back to my Mac Book Air, which I now know how to do with a simple keyboard command. But at that time, my sighted helper googled how to make the switch, and found that I needed to use Bootcamp on the Windows side. So she went to further instructions as to what to do with the Bootcamp there. She couldn’t see it there, so, not knowing how to switch, we took my Mac to the technology company I do business with. They said I didn’t have Bootcamp installed on Windows. They did the switching for me. so, knowing now that it’s not necessary to have this, I succeeded, again with sighted help, to see when exactly I needed to let go of the key so as to get to the target mode. Thus, I was able to go from Windows back to Mac using only the Bootcamp on the Mac side.
Now, the reason why I thought I might need Bootcamp in Windows, is because I was having trouble switching on the fly with VMWAre Fusion. So now, what I’m trying to do, is to learn what keystrokes to use. I’m still having difficulty with the command-G, that was suggested in this thread. It seems as if Command-G doesn’t work completely after setting full screen on the Windows side of VMWare. So apparently, I’ll need to go to key-mapping.
