Hi there,
In my case, Open Office lost quite a bit of accessibility with VoiceOver in
Lion. Moving with the arrow keys inside a text document without using VO cursor

If you go into vmware preferences, keyboard and mouse, you can add your mapping
there as long as you hit key mapping tab. It can be confusing but once its
done, then you can access your mapping preferences through any virtual machine
and you do not have to use sharpe keys.
