Re: The control-G vm fusion question again

[Scott Granados]

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 I 
experiment with.

So command G is not mentioned anywhere in the preferences list either under the

There is the command control to release but no command G in my fusion 8.5.

 Ok here is what I think would be worth studying. I was just in my VM

 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 with this a
 lot more though and confirm some suspicions. Its supposed to grab the
 heyboard away from the Mac.
 
 This may not work any more as lately I have found just pressing a
 wrong key or too long throws things around and I have trouble getting
 focused on the VM again.
 
 So perhaps Command-G really is not used any more. When I run the VM in
 full screen I am not interested in switching between Mac and Windows.
 Yet I want access to the menu bar. I have disabled the VM toolbar and
 mini bar. I think I have conflicts here though by inadvertently
 pressing Mac keystrokes.
 
 Did this make sense?

Re: The control-G vm fusion question again

[E.T.]

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.

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 VM which
then captures input. I use this method on both Windows and Linux VMs.

This is on the latest version of Fusion though still on El Kapitan
because I don't have time to work out the whole Seil/Caribener thing
in Sierra yet.

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 with this a
lot more though and confirm some suspicions. Its supposed to grab the
heyboard away from the Mac.

This may not work any more as lately I have found just pressing a
wrong key or too long throws things around and I have trouble getting
focused on the VM again.

So perhaps Command-G really is not used any more. When I run the VM in
full screen I am not interested in switching between Mac and Windows.
Yet I want access to the menu bar. I have disabled the VM toolbar and
mini bar. I think I have conflicts here though by inadvertently
pressing Mac keystrokes.

Did this make sense?

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.

Re: The control-G vm fusion question again

[Garry Turkington]

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 VM which
then captures input. I use this method on both Windows and Linux VMs.

This is on the latest version of Fusion though still on El Kapitan
because I don't have time to work out the whole Seil/Caribener thing
in Sierra yet.

Re: The control-G vm fusion question again

[E.T.]

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 might have 
solved it.

Re: The control-G vm fusion question again

[E.T.]

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 with this 
a lot more though and confirm some suspicions. Its supposed to grab the 
heyboard away from the Mac.


   This may not work any more as lately I have found just pressing a 
wrong key or too long throws things around and I have trouble getting 
focused on the VM again.


   So perhaps Command-G really is not used any more. When I run the VM 
in full screen I am not interested in switching between Mac and Windows. 
Yet I want access to the menu bar. I have disabled the VM toolbar and 
mini bar. I think I have conflicts here though by inadvertently pressing 
Mac keystrokes.


   Did this make sense?

Re: The control-G vm fusion question again

[Scott Granados]

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 that’s the 
problem.:)

Re: The control-G vm fusion question again

['Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries]

I have never found a reliable way to get into and outof the guest vm.
For me this is a significant frustration.
To
my mind this functionality is a feature we should demand of VMware. I'm
not sure where to file the RFE, but if someone knows or posts one,
please share so that others of us can add our support for the request.

ScottI don’t know about control + g.  What sometimes helps is to switch to full
